活動介紹

快閃族已風靡一時，有想象過什么是隱閃嗎？

一場沒有彩排的演出，靜悄悄地發生在公共空間；一場未知的表演、一次和陌生人的邂逅、一次對城市的探索。你，想體驗嗎？

初秋的總統府在地，懷舊復古的街邊一角，即將上演一場隱閃。這個世界，你是觀眾，也是演員。我們邀請你成為“乍現影院”《仿佛，最后一次》的主角。

也許過于便捷的通訊工具反而讓你和很多人疏于聯絡，一切變得不那么真實。這些年，你疏遠了誰，你想念著誰，你想和誰牽手，盼望跟誰看戲，重返磚石小路…現在就邀請他/她一起來到《仿佛，最后一次》。

點擊鏈接報名成為劇中人，通過電子郵件得到活動發生的時間地點和準備事項。在乍現影院的現場，你將通過MP3播放器聆聽音頻文件的敘述和指引而成為劇中的角色。在半小時里，演繹與觀影無界限。上一秒，你是冷靜的觀察者，下一秒，你卻化身為故事主角，潛入銀幕。化身其中，我們被賦予了全新的視角，觀察這個世界并與它建立聯系。

“無從預測、深刻有力。參加‘仿佛，最后一次’，就是從世界抽離的最佳示范。然后你回來，發現自己看日常事物的角度，已經有所不同?！薄猅heLondonist

“那是我在倫敦最震撼的經歷之一。在倫敦，我看過各式劇場作品，有大型的，也有在酒廊小房間的。但‘仿佛，最后一次’是我覺得最個人、最動人、最使人沉醉的‘表演’，猶如幻術。”—泰倫斯?伊頓

關于藝術家組織circumstance

circumstance是一個國際藝術家組織。他們通過藝術的形式，在意想不到的地點創造“影院式體驗”。這種體驗以不同的形式呈現，如大眾參與式表演、親密耳語式的故事講述、書籍、裝置和工作坊等。無論是憂愁或者浪漫，circumstance都能把它們融入到移動技術和公共空間當中。他們的作品靈感依賴于當代表演、劇場、互動設計、編曲、穿戴式電子設備、空間限定和滲透式媒介。

目前circumstance的藝術家組合為鄧肯?斯皮柯曼，薩拉?安德森及艾米莉?格蘭尼爾。他們以創作“乍現影院”的表演形式和在公共空間中運用移動通訊科技聞名。他們的作品一直在探索科技使用在社會、政治和情感層面造成的影響，并同時把體驗轉化為故事本身。

ABOUT THE EVENT

Flashmob has been here and there for quite a while. But do you have any idea about ‘subtlemob’? It is a never-rehearsed performance taking place quietly in public area.

It is a mysterious show for encounter with strangers and exploration of the city. It is a theatre you can participate in and experience.

In an early-autumn day of nostalgic Nanjing, here comes the quite performance of subtlemob. Within this show, you are the audience and the performer at the same time. You are invited to be on the centre stage of ‘As If It Were the Last Time’, a subtlemob.

Modern devices and apps seem to make communication today super-convenient. But perhaps they have also made you feel unrealistic and more distanced from people. While listening to the in-ear stories specially made by the directors, you will find neon lights on the street illuminating the stage for you.

If there is someone you become distant with, someone on your mind, someone you want to hold hands with, someone you want to watch a film with…That is the one you should invite now to join you for ‘As If It Were the Last Time’.

Click the link and register for the event! You’ll receive more details and instructions through email. On the day, you need to play the audio files in your own MP3 player. By listening to the narratives and following the instructions, you will become one of the characters in this play. Boundary of acting and observing vanishes in the 30-minute show. You are a cool-headed observer at one moment, and become an active character at the next. Being part of the story, you will be able to look at and interact with the world from a completely new and different angle.

‘Capricious and profound, the experience definitely captures what it is to escape from the world for a little bit, then return and find that you see things just a bit differently.’ –The Londonist

‘It was one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever had in London. I’ve seen performances in lots of London theatres, some big, some in the back room of pubs, but ‘As If It Were The Last Time’ was the most personal, moving and bewitching ‘show’ I’ve witnessed. Truly magical.’ –Terence Eden
