Toilet 廁所 (2009)
Synopsis
I sleep, I am small
My desire is in pain
My identity is vague. My soul is bursting
I judge myself . I leave you a clue
I am not me. I found you
The toilet is a space for the excretion of body waste. The ugliest gestures that person would not be caught doing in public can be done in the “toilet”. The “toilet” which keeps the excretion and filth sees the ugliest side of human nature. Filthy words on the walls, telephone numbers the leave clues of lust, may be the cheapest and most convenient way to exit the city like rubbish left by the wayside.
Untitled, premiered in year 2003, was created by the then new theater director Loh Kok Man, together with dancers, actors and installation artist. Chan Kok Hooi. The performance received tremendous reviews. Five years later, Pentas Project presents a new version which has been named of Toilet and it extracts the reality and imagination from everyday lives, looking into the map of hidden desires inside our heart.
我吃 我睡
我玩 我呼吸 我存在
我排泄 我愛你
用我最純淨如大便的靈魂
廁 所的社會功能，既是提供一个排泄的場域，我們最不想開放觀賞的姿態，都在廁所中發生。這個納收穢物的載體，日復一日漠然凝望最真實丑陋的生物姿態，也漠然豢養最不為人知的欲望本能，是城市中最廉價方便的出口，痛快排出文明的垃圾。
2003年，劇場導演羅國文率領年輕藝術家們創作《一个没有名字的演出》廣受好評，以措辭直接而赤裸的文體，直面凝視偽善且純真的生命本質。五年后，平台計劃推出《一个没有名字的演出》爆裂變奏版《廁所》，以全新思索襭取城市生活的真實與幻想切片，直入我們心中最純淨幽微的欲望版图。
