15 years after the premiere, Wu Nianzhen's "Human Conditions" will be repeated! In this classic work that made him switch from film and television to stage drama, Wu Nianzhen said: "'Human Conditions' has taken a completely different path for my life."
Wu Nianzhen said that the film director is slightly more relaxed than the stage director, he said: "The film can jump the camera, or even cut, but the stage play is an open space, can only rely on the actors, the director is useless in the formal performance, especially when the actors say the wrong lines, they can only nervous stomach pain next to each other, and they can't do anything."
But because I couldn't start over because I failed, the set mechanism got stuck and had to continue, "I felt more like a family with the actors of the Green Light Troupe, and this reprieve was like a reunion after a long absence." 」
Wu Nianzhen said that "Human Conditions" is a tribute to his idol, The Japanese "Shumin Director" Yoji Yamada, he said: "Popular is a kind of public welfare, it is not easy to make a play that allows Taiwanese people of all ages to get comfort and resonance, and my greatest wish is that "Human Conditions" can be performed in wild stage dramas, so that more people who cannot enter the theater can see."
In 2001, under the suggestion of Li Yongfeng, executive director of the Paper Windmill Cultural and Educational Foundation, Wu Nianzhen turned the "Human Conditions" originally launched as a TV series into a stage play, but he did not expect to be well received after the launch, causing a wave, 6 times in the past 15 years, so far a total of 53 performances, a total of more than 85,000 viewers have watched, but also successively launched the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th episodes of the human series, and the 7th episode is also in the making.
"Conditions on Earth" describes a deceased grandmother, who returned to the human world because her wish was not fulfilled, and was attached to her granddaughter Ami, and Ami's father was the elder uncle of Xinxingli, who came to his home every day to make tea, and by the way, he signed a lottery, fighting, playing and making trouble, and the simple situation between the neighbors, regardless of you and me, is the appearance of the daily life of the small people in Taiwan.
What are the necessary conditions for living in the human world, Wu Nianzhen said, is "love" and "understanding", Wu Nianzhen said, "Human Conditions" uses "communication" to convey love and understanding, "People should admit frankly, there is no hostility, the reason why Grandma in the play returns to the soul is also because she wants to communicate her unfinished wish."
Wu Nianzhen said: "I rarely talked to my father before he died, his stories are told to me by others, why are the people closest to me so strange. So in the second half, I arranged for uncle Li and his mother to dissolve each other's hearts through soul-returning communication, and the son also fulfilled his mother's wishes, thinking about sometimes hatred and doubts about a person, if there is a chance to spread out, you will find that it is just a misunderstanding."
15 years later, I asked my original team to re-perform "Human Conditions", including Li Yongfeng, Huang Yunling, Chung Xinling and other actors, Wu Nianzhen said: "The biggest change in "Human Conditions" is that I have become a family with this group of actors, and this re-enactment is like a reunion after a long absence."
"Human Conditions" will be performed on the Taipei City Stage from May 25 to 29, to Detang in Kaohsiung from June 23 to 25, to Zhongshan Hall in Taichung from July 22 to 23, to Tainan Cultural Center from September 2 to 3, and to the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in Taipei from July 29 to 30.
