节目简介Programme Description

《迷失的男孩》融合现代舞、高难度动作和别出心裁的双人组合，探索性与性别这些当代争论的热点问题。其灵感源自对美国艾滋病危机时内化恐同症的研究，直面1980年代人们的心理困境。编舞将观众带进一个幽默、猎奇、宣泄的当代世界。基普尼斯的电子旋律更将舞作推向高潮。

The Lost Boys combines dynamic modern dance， brute tasks， and unruly partnering to tackle contemporary issues about sexuality and gender. Inspired by the research on internalized homophobia shared by men who grew up during the AIDS Crisis， it confronts psychic conundrums growing up in the 1980s. The choreographer invites audience into a humorous， haunting， and cathartic portrait of a contemporary identity. The electric melodies composed by emerging musical artist Jeepneys propel the piece into an ecstatic dance.

舞团简介About the Company

凯文·威廉姆森舞团旨在创作多元、跨界的舞蹈，以审视当代的生活。从对动作、即兴的不断钻研来推动创作过程。舞团作品启发观众将身体看成一个容器，承载着缤纷多样的液体，身份千变万化。舞团与不同背景的艺术家合作，作品雅俗共赏、打破常规。不协和的音乐、影像强调了冲突，用无节制、异己、同情、记忆和压抑的方式展现奇特想法。引导观众深思自己平时的行为方式，从舞蹈中解放自我。

Kevin Williamson Dance has a mission to create interdisciplinary dance that examines contemporary life. A relentless investigation of movement and improvisation drives the process. Each project works at inspiring viewers to consider the body as a fluid vessel for ever-evolving identities.  Collaborations with artists from diverse backgrounds produce creations that are both high and low-brow， elegant and grotesque， and strive to disrupt rules of the binary. The dances draw upon discordant sounds and images to highlight conflicts while demonstrating queer ideals in excess， difference， empathy， memory and compassion. It invites audiences to contemplate rules that govern the behavior， and dance to liberate from them.
