Qualia (2022) 60’

Electroacoustic Music Theatre

Premiere: Performers / Theresa LEI, LUO Fei-Tsui, 2022 May 14, 15, National Taichung Theater Playhouse

每個生命、物質都有其獨特性,鄭伊里在《感質》中,探究生命感知及多元個體的覺察,企圖觸發觀者思考尊重生命個體。

演出透過「介質裝置」、「即時電聲」和「表演者肢體質地」,融合歌劇院建築核心元素:光、空氣、水,打造多層次電聲裝置系統,依表演者的肢體觸碰即時引動現場電聲反饋,融合光影互動,創作出極具視聽效果的電聲肢體劇場,喚醒觀者的感官意識。

作品共分為六個樂章:

序、逆生樹從天蔓生至地表的植物支脈,探尋地心引力與生命成長的延續性。

一、地一切生命由「土地」展開,從泥土下萌芽探出。

二、醒環境的刺激開始讓身體甦醒,逐漸離開地面並學習起身。

三、霧在雲霧間尋找光點,暗喻著生命體的向光性與個體意識。

四、光影光與影為互補的存在,肢體經由光照而產生影子,而影子更清晰展現了個體的獨特質地。

五、水生命融合一切感知,回到生生不息的源頭。

Uniqueness exists in every living being and matter. Qualia explores the growth and diversity of life to reflect on respecting nature.

CHENG I-lly's Qualia explores the perception of life and the awareness of diverse individuals with an attempt to inspire the audience to reflect on being respectful of individual lives.

Employing installations, live electronics, and performers’ physicality, Qualia is an amalgam of the core architectural elements—light, air, and water—of the National Taichung Theater. The result is an electroacoustic physical theater that explores different senses.
The stage is transformed into an electroacoustic installation where performers’ movement triggers live electronics interacting with installations and lights. The result is an electroacoustic physical theater that explores different senses. 

The performance is divided into six parts:

Preface- Inverted Tree: The branches reach down from the sky to earth surface in search of gravity and the continuity of vitality.

I. The Earth: "Earth" is the genesis of all living beings which sprout from beneath the soil.

II. Awakening: Environmental stimuli awakens the body to inch away from the ground and learn to get up.

III. Fog: The search for light spots in the fog is a metaphor for the phototropism and individual awareness of a living being.

IV. Light and Shadow: Light and shadow are complementary. The limbs cast shadows with light, and the shadows vividly reflect the unique quality of the individual.

V. Water: Life integrates all the senses and returns to the origin of the endless circle of life.
