SUMMARY:Salesman 之死
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 1983\, in a groundbreaking act of cross-cultural collaboration\, Arthur Miller accepted an invitation to direct his play Death of a Salesman with an all-Chinese cast in Beijing\, despite not speaking a word of Mandarin. \nThis extraordinary encounter\, which Miller detailed in his memoir Salesman in Beijing\, is the inspiration for Salesman之死\, which centres on a young university professor who is summoned to the theatre for a special task: to interpret for Arthur Miller\, who will soon arrive to direct his iconic play – in Mandarin. Meanwhile\, the Chinese ensemble has never met “a salesman”. Will they be able to find common ground? \nWarm and funny\, it is a multilingual tale of cultural confusion\, impossible translation and unexpected encounters amid the chaos of theatre making. \nSpecial Stage Seat Experience \nWhat is the role of an audience member who’s on stage and in-the-know? A limited number of stage seats are available for each show\, offering audience members an exclusive theatrical experience like no other. Seated on the stage of Victoria Theatre\, you get to witness the entire workings of the play up close\, from right beside the cast. This rare opportunity is for those who are game to play an integral part in this exclusive Singapore staging! \nPlease note that Stage Seats are only accessible via stairs. \nThere will be a post-show talk with the artists after every performance. \n\n1983年春。 \n一句中文也不会说亦从来不是导演的美国著名剧作家阿瑟.密勒，竟应英若诚之邀，远赴北京执导他笔下名作《推销员之死》。一场从一开始就注定“无法对话”的相遇，就此展开。 \n这段跨越语言与文化的经历，后来被密勒记在回忆录《北京的推销员》里。而这场近乎不可能的合作，也成为了《Salesman之死》的灵感起点。 \n作品讲述一位年轻的大学教授被召入剧场承接一项特别任务；为即将来到北京导戏的阿瑟.密勒担任口译。然而，中国剧团从未见过“推销员”，他们是否能顺利找到彼此的共鸣？台上台下、排练与现实之间，反复在两种语言、两种思维和两个世界中周旋。 \n字里行间，剧场演变 。\n温暖又诙谐，当文化错位遇上语言错意，要如何在翻译的误解里寻找共鸣？\n当中国剧团对上美国导演，究竟会上演哪一出戏？ \n特别舞台座上体验 \n坐在台上、洞察全局的观众，会扮演什么样的角色？ 我们将在每场演出预设有限台上座位，供观众一次绝无仅有的独家舞台体验。遥坐在维多利亚剧院舞台另一端观众席上的你，将能在演员旁近距离见证整部剧的运作构成。如果你也想在这场新加坡首演中，成为其中一份子，就不要错过这难得的机会。 \n注：台上座位仅可通过楼梯进入 \n每场演出结束后，均设有与导演及演员的戏后交流。
