SEA SPRAY

In his 33rd documentary, director KE Chin-yuan presents ten classic seashores throughout Taiwan in a dialogue between dance and the environment.

柯金源導演第33部紀錄片作品，取景全台具代表性十處海岸，用舞蹈和環境對話。

Taiwan’s people and society have increasingly estranged themselves from the sea surrounding them. This documentary follows a group of young creative performers as they reconnect with and experience Taiwan’s ocean shorelines with their entire being. They then interpret their individual, deeply personal experiences of ocean life, evolution, and environmental change into their performance art.Follow a ballet dancer as she feels out her footing atop cement seawalls and in the shadows of towering wind turbines. Follow dancers as they act out their bewilderment, sorrow, and anger on a factory-fringed, industry-scarred beach. Finally, on Taiwan’s most extensive mudflats, dancers absorb the experiences of native oysters, birds, and crabs through an Eastern philosophical lens, transforming these into naturally flowing, impromptu performances.

台灣是一個海島國家，但我們的感知離海越來越遠。一群年輕表演藝術創作者，透過實地田野觀察，在海岸地帶以五感進行體驗，再藉由即興創作，轉譯海洋生態、生命演化、環境變遷的感受。影片中呈現了芭蕾舞者，在水泥海岸與風機環伺下，如何伸展絕妙華麗的舞姿。舞者揉合東方自然哲學，用身體演譯生物繁衍、演化的過程。
