《台下》是一部关于厦门本土艺术——木偶布袋戏的短片。Yang Zimik和蔡培清两人通过采访了退休了的布袋戏大师陈景堂先生探究了这种艺术形式过去与未来,同时,建立了另外一个鼓浪屿木偶布袋戏现职表演人员的平行视角,来对木偶戏作更近一步的探索和解释。通过视听上的直观体验来感受关于木偶戏的继承、传承和发展。
‘Off Stage’ is a short film about the art of hand puppetry that is indigenous to Xiamen. Yang Zimik and Cai Peiqing explore the intricacies of the art-form through interviews with Mr. Chen, a retired puppet master, while creating a parallel narrative with observational and interpretive visuals of the actual puppet show that is performed on Gu Langyu Island. The ideas of inheritance, heritage and development in regards to puppetry are woven into a free flowing river of picture and sound.
