入圍理由

從幾位陌生旅客在機艙中的短暫交會開始，幾位演員（張耀仁、鄭莉穎、李梓揚、余佩真、范頤）在不同角色之間自然轉換；編劇馮琪鈞將簡單的故事線延展，創作出流暢的劇場敘事；舞台設計鄭烜勛以簡單的佈景、物件、不同的視角，打造出具想像力的空間；導演洪千涵將憂傷包裹在幽默輕鬆之中，以純熟的劇場手法拼貼出互相牽連的故事片段，是令人矚目的新生代導演。編導、演員及團隊以高度默契互相配合，在有限的空間、人員與物件中創造出一個極富想像力的傑出展演。 (主筆／陳惠湄)

關於2016關渡藝術節《曾經未曾》

此作原為2015年參加烏鎮戲劇節青年競演的30分鐘參賽作品，2016受關渡藝術節邀演，由導演洪千涵與編劇馮琪鈞重新改版，將30分鐘雙人戲擴大編制及演出長度成為70分鐘的全新版本。藉由「飛機」這跨越時區跟空間的載體所引發坐在相鄰位置的陌生人，其記憶的觸發及連結延伸。嘗試藉由各種人際關係組合，去探索記憶的更多面向；從親情、友情到陌生人際關係，將「失去」的定義擴大。當所有曾經發生過的記憶都是「失去」，那些引發你聯想到「失去」的現在，都將領著你體驗接下來未曾發生過的新未來。

關於人物

《曾經未曾》是由明日合和製作所，導演洪千涵、編劇馮琪鈞與演員張耀仁等人共同創作，2015年第三屆中國烏鎮青年競演戲劇節的首獎之作，隨即受關渡藝術節邀演，將原版三十分鐘延伸成七十分鐘的完整演出。作品以幽默包裹悲傷，以魔幻寫實的風格和非線性敘事手法，深刻探討人的記憶如何形塑、影響當下每個決定，並以劇場視聽元素，喚起觀眾自身埋藏已久的情感記憶。

洪千涵，國立台北藝術大學戲劇系與英國倫敦大學中央演說與戲劇學院畢業，是近年頗受矚目的新銳導演，屢次奪得國內外戲劇競賽獎項，近期又獲2017日本神奈川海鷗短劇藝術祭最佳導演獎。洪千涵的父親是熱愛文學的商人，母親則懷抱著演員夢，成長過程耳濡目染，從小便立志當電影導演。她談到，「高中英文話劇比賽是我第一次導舞台劇，為了想戲怎麼導失眠到半夜，這件事太好玩了！」。升大學前她報名一系列文學劇場營隊，從紀蔚然、楊力州等老師身上悟到其實形式只是附加，無論劇場或電影，人始終是核心。在北藝大她專攻戲劇導演，受陸愛玲老師啟發，讓她知曉劇場是所有元素的統整，並引領她自由隨意創作。她喜歡團體工作，逐漸確立了集體編創的模式，自英返國後，即與同學成立以平行共同創作為宗旨的劇團「明日和合製作所」。

參加2015年第三屆烏鎮戲劇節「青年競演」時，編劇馮琪鈞與洪千涵分享一個「在飛機上把旁人認成自己母親」情感錯置的真實經歷。機場是離開和迎接之地，飛機則是橫跨時空的載體，在侷促密閉的機艙座位，很容易讓人產生迷幻聯覺，她倆決定往下發展看故事怎麼走；洪千涵說，「我爸是台商，常常接送機，所以對機場很有感情；五年前爸爸過世，我也想把『記憶』題材挖得更深」。烏鎮版本講述飛機上一男子和一位母親的相遇，回到台北，編導倆人在劇本放入更多原生家庭的連結，邀來演員集體激盪，挑選各自經歷，串聯成戲。

洪千涵出生南投，馮琪鈞則在台中成長，兩人都對九二一大地震記憶猶新，瓦泥崩裂的樓梯間、在家門口的公園夜宿帳篷、接不完的關心電話等等，一個記憶勾起另一個記憶，驚覺自己的記憶尾端，能夠連結另一人的記憶開始。洪千涵認為「搭飛機的時候，這種感覺尤其強烈，當你離開了熟悉的土地，在陌生的感官環境裡，很容易勾起隱藏心中的回憶片段。如遇到亂流聯想到地震，聯想到一家人開車逃難的緊密經驗。上飛機時大家是陌生人，起飛後卻成了集體意識流，記憶互相串通」。

編劇馮琪鈞安排了五位角色一同搭乘航機，有時記憶連貫，有時則是個人體驗，當其中一個角色憶及過往，整個舞台場景瞬間隨之變換，把飛機逃生指示，變成學習面對死亡的教學步驟，或把搭機時產生的睡眠障礙，連結到童年聽枕邊故事，再到長大孤身北上求學的床邊一角；馮琪鈞說，「每個人都是自己的主角，也是別人的配角」。

戲中每個片段都由編、導、演員及設計群集體創作，工作模式雖繁複，時常彼此摩擦爭執，最後成果卻讓大家特別滿意；洪千涵說，「我在英國學集體創作，回臺灣也想成立不以編導優先的平等創作團隊，讓大家的創意都能匯集進來」。馮琪鈞在排練初期則懷疑集體創作真能適用嗎？最後會不會有人決定回到導演至上的創作？他說，「我跟千涵都喜歡極端的、不中庸的決定，也因此有時兩個極端拉扯的過程很艱辛。我寫劇本時自認劇情該往這裡，千涵卻堅持往那裡，是不斷說服和被說服的過程」。排練時，馮琪鈞先寫一段文字交給大家，演員嘗試發展後再重寫；設計群也在製作前期就進場看排，洪千涵這麼說：「這齣戲絕對不只是編劇或導演的功勞，而是大家集體創作出來的。我們的目標是讓劇場裡一切元素都變成表達的工具，創作這世代的敘事邏輯」。

明日和合製作所

2016年初成立，其核心成員洪千涵、張剛華、黃鼎云皆為近年在表演藝術領域持續創作的新銳編導，決定以團體形式尋找創作上的可能。有別於常見的團體組成中以專業、技術、功能為導向的分類激盪模式，將三人同時置放於「作者」的位置，以水平式生產進行藝術創作。現階段作為發展主軸的核心觀念：「現場展/演」 (Live Exhibition)、「回應式創作」 (Responding Creation)、「沉浸式計畫」 (Immersive Project)。在表現形式上並不侷限特定媒材/媒體，反而更重視生產過程與社會、環境、科技、歷史等其他領域之折衝。

2016 Kuandu Arts Festival - Ever Never

Co-coism (Playwright FENG Chi-Chun, Director HUNG Chien-Han)

Comments from Nomination Committee

Starting from a brief encounter between several travelling strangers on an airplane, the actors (CHANG Yao-Jen, CHENG Li-Ying, LEE Tzu-Yang, YU Pei-Jen and FAN Yi) begin to naturally switch between different characters. The playwright, FENG Chi-Chun, is able to extend the simple storyline and creates a flowing theatrical narrative. The production design by CHENG Hsuan-Hsan offers an imaginative space with a simple set, objects, and changing perspectives. The director, HUNG Chien-Han, buries sadness in humor and lightheartedness, creating interconnected stories by masterfully employing theatrical methods and proving herself to be a rising director of the young generation. The great mutual understanding and collaboration between the playwright, director, actors and the crew allow them to create an excellent performance enriched with imagination in a limited space and with only a number of people and objects. (Commentator: CHEN Hui-Mei)

About the Artwork

This work was originally a thirty-minute work for the Young Theatre Artist's Competition of Wu Zhen Theatre Festival in 2015. In 2016, the director, HUNG Chien-Han, and the playwright, FENG Chi-Chun, revised the work for an invitational performance at Kuandu Arts Festival, expanding the thirty-minute duet into a seventy-minute version. Employing "airplane" as a physical carrier that moves through different time zones, the work triggers and connects the memory of the neighboring passengers on board. Through various combination of interpersonal relations, the works explores the different aspects of memory, from that of the family, to friendship, to strangers, redefining what it means to "lose." When all the memory of what has ever happened means "loss," the present that makes you think about "losing" will guide you to experience the future that is yet to come.

About the Artist

Co-coism

Founded in early 2016, the core members of Co-coism include HUNG Chien-Han, CHANG Kang-Hua, and HUANG Din-Yun, who have respectively emerged as uprising directors and playwrights in the field of performing arts in recent years. Therefore, they decided to seek more creative possibilities as a group. Differing from most groups that divide the works according to specialties, techniques, and functions, the three members of Co-coism are all "authors" and conduct artistic creation together. At present, they uphold the following concept to develop their works: "live exhibition," "responding creation," and "immersive project." They do not limit themselves to specific material and media, but rather emphasize on communication and negotiation between the production process and society, environment, technology and history.

FENG Chi-Chun

FENG Chi-Chun majored in playwriting and graduated from the Department of Theatre, Taipei National University of the Arts, and is now a playwright at Playwriting Studio. FENG has written many scripts, including Still Air performed at the 2016 Taipei Fringe Festival, Ever Never, which won the First Prize in the Young Theatre Artist's Competition of Wu Zhen Theatre Festival in 2015, Live of Love performed at the 2013 Taipei Fringe Festival (script-writing assistance), Drill, which was her graduation production in 2010, and Non-Death that won the Second Place of Kuandu Literature Award in 2009.

HUNG Chien-Han

HUNG Chien-Han is a theatre director, performer, and the director of Co-coism. She majored in directing and graduated from the Department of Theatre, Taipei National University of the Arts in 2010. In 2014, she graduated from the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, London, and received an MA Advanced Theatre Practice. She founded Canteen 50A Lab with other theatre practitioners in London in 2015 and was invited to perform Caressed at the Prague Quadrennial. In 2014, HUNG was invited to participate in the collaborative work, Tick Tock, performed at Merge Festival hosted by Tate Modern, and also participated in her graduation and curatorial production, Milk Float, at Unresolved Festival in London.

Recently, HUNG has been engaged in contemporary performances. She participated in Walletjes, a work performed at the 2015 Free Art Fair and received tremendous accolades. In early 2016, she was invited to perform at The New Generation Art at New Taipei Gallery at the 16th Macau City Fringe Festival in 2017. In early 2016, HUNG co-founded Co-coism with HUANG Din-Yun and CHANG Kang-Hua, and published the group's debut work Tomorrow Inn in June. In October, they were invited to create You Can Sleep Here by MOCA Taipei and Between Meals by Treasure Hill Artist Village. Her other directorial works include Concrete Jungle, which won the Best Director at the 2nd Kanagawa Kamome Short Play Festival in 2017, and Still Air, which was performed and nominated for Best Theatre Performance at the 2016 Taipei Fringe Festival and was one of the third-season nominees for Taishin Arts Award.
