平台計劃２００８年度製作

動物農莊
Animal Farm

革命前，他們是一群笨蛋；革命後，他們還是一群笨蛋

２００８年１０月，劇場實力最鑑鏘的政治隱喻演出

繼幻麗異想的城市表述之作「城失空想．一個殘缺不全支離破碎失憶症患者的十個備忘錄」後，「平台計劃」２００８年１０月全新年度力作，挑戰大家熟悉的政治隱喻小說「動物農莊」，大膽叩問權力和慾望底層的闇黑糾葛，隱然呼應現實生活中民怨不斷、光怪陸離的政治民生異像。

「動物農莊」為英國著名小說家喬治．歐威爾(George Orwell, 1903-1950)的作品，歐威爾痛恨暴政，被喻為「當代的良心」。「動物農莊」是一部政治諷刺小說，書中藉由一座由動物自治的「動物農莊」，展現獨裁統治下的各種醜面，是作者最受歡迎的作品。

故事從農場裡德高望重的一頭豬說起，牠在臨死前提出了「人類剝削動物，動物須革命」的理論，掀起一場由豬領導的革命，農莊主人被趕走後，動物們實現了「動物自治」的願望，農莊正式易名「動物農莊」。時日更迭，領導革命的豬們發生了分裂，一場又一場權力、慾望、暴政、剝削的戲碼不斷在農莊裡頭上演。

Animal Farm

They are idoits before the revolution; they are still idiots after the revolution

Adapted from a novel by George Orwell and script written by Ian Wooldridge

IN MANDARIN WITH ENGLISH SURTITLES

A political metaphoric performance presented by the most promisisng force of theatre in 2008.

George Orwell's scathing destruction of the dictatorial governance of Communism, "Animal Farm" was written in 1945. Yet, what is its relevance today? In 2008, Pentas Project will boldly question the complications of power and greed, capita;ising upon the boiling discontentment of the people and the strange political and social phenomena which is real life for many.

This is a shattering story of totalitarianism, desire, grees and corruption - forcing you to face the actual collective consciousness of the worst of human weaknesses.
