The suspenseful stage drama "Labyrinth of hearts" is adapted from the movie of the same name, the story takes place in a village in Guizhou, a coffin, two corpses, three families scrambling, each pregnant with a ghost fetus. It is unique in its exquisite narrative method, which disrupts the timeline with reverse order and interludes, and the suspense is interlocked, allowing the audience to open the "God" perspective to examine the whole story.
Adding to this bizarre plot is the choreography that all audiences expect. Labyrinth of Hearts builds a stilted building about 12 meters high with a turntable on the flat ground of the theater. With the dry-type wooden frame structure stilt building as the main building, the column and beam frame structure of ancient Chinese architecture are used to increase the support point, and the entire stage set is about 9,000 pounds, and 8678 steel nails are lost each time.
There are seven different spaces in the Stilt House, connected by a zigzag staircase in the central area of the building, how did the actors complete their performances in this building? What kind of organs are there?
In order to bring the audience the most original experience of Guizhou, the crew deliberately went to the local area to collect style, and every prop presented on the scene revealed the exquisite careful thinking of the crew.
When the actors travel through different rooms to perform different stories, how can the audience sitting under the stage see the inside of the stilt house? In order to solve this problem, "Labyrinth of Hearts" deliberately added real-time photography to the performance, innovatively integrating dramatic scenes with film montages, so that the seemingly fragmented storyline can be easily switched between subjective and objective perspectives, and the scenes are quickly coherent and repeated.
The audience at the performance can not only see what is happening on the stage, but also choose the visual picture they want to watch to "spy" the clues of the story. Through the combination of real scene and real shooting, a sense of logical dislocation is expressed, and viewers who watch from different angles can choose to accept the visual picture they think and get the answer in their minds.
Different from the previous stage performances, the actors have to face the face of the real-time camera shot, but also have to return to the stage to perform, and the acting skills need to be retracted freely under the different mediums received by the audience, which brings a great test to the actors' switching between the sense of proportion.
The stage drama version of "Labyrinth of Hearts" makes the originally absurd plot more joyful through the combination of actor interpretation and stage technology, and has been well received so far. After the original sale of the show sold out, it has been decided to add a performance until January 16, the audience who did not buy tickets before hurry up and take action to enjoy the ultimate audiovisual feast at the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center in the new year!
