城S

我们；城S……早报报道

《城S》是个集体创作的的作品，以新加坡社会和现今高度融合及环球化的世界作为语境，对城市包容性的概念进行探索。

艺树人希望《城S》能够激发一些想法并启发大家对于自己所身处的城市空间进行省思。剧中的故事呈现城市的各个面向并由一系列的行李箱奏鸣曲所串连。行李箱奏鸣曲象征了一个旅程，让大家通过这个旅程反思多数人如何建构与看待社会中的意识形态。

在剧中，转制的体制，不和谐的状况，受歧视，被限制，被异化，被压抑等诸如此类的现实情况将被正视。多数人所作的决定能代表少数人的意见吗?在这场力争上游的竞赛中，精英又是否会考虑到一般老百姓的福利呢？你的言行举动是出自你的本意又或是受到其他人的影响？

艺树人希望观众能够通过观赏此剧重新思考真正具有包容性的城市所蕴含的意义再回答自己这些问题。

*演出主要以中文进行。（将提供英文字幕）

“CityS” is a devised play exploring the concept of an inclusive city, in Singapore’s context, and in the context of our current highly integrated, globalised world.

ARTivate aims to create a theatrical project that provokes thought and inspires people to ponder about the very space and city they inhabit.

In this play, stories from different aspects of a city are connected by a series of luggage sonatas which symbolizes a journey that questions the ideology constructed and perceived by majority of the society. Realities are confronted: autocracy, disharmony, discrimination, limitations, alienation, oppression and the likes. Does the decision of the majority always account for the minority? Will the elites ever consider the welfare of their downtown folks in this race to the top? Is that action you took out of free will or under the influence of others?

ARTivate hopes that audiences will reconsider the meaning of a truly inclusive city after watching the play and in turn, answer these questions for themselves.

*Performed mainly in Mandarin. (English Surtitles provided)
