科学家与怪物的博弈

 

英国皇家芭蕾舞团呈现科幻名篇

 

19世纪初，玛丽·雪莱写下了*一部科幻小说《弗兰肯斯坦》，该作也被认为是世界上*一部真正意义上的科幻小说。2016年，作为英国皇家芭蕾舞团的驻团艺术家，三十岁的利亚姆·斯卡利特创作了自己在英皇的*一部全长芭蕾舞剧《弗兰肯斯坦》，罗威尔·利伯曼创作了充满毁灭性的音乐，约翰·麦克法兰设计出令人毛骨悚然的舞台。极*表现力和戏剧性的舞蹈，获得了观众和评论的一致肯定，《泰晤士报》、《每日快报》、《舞台报》均给出四星推荐。

 

英国皇家芭蕾舞团改编的芭蕾舞剧，与原小说有不同的剧情设置：维克多·弗兰肯斯坦即将离开家人和他的伊丽莎白去上大学，就在离开之前，他的母亲却在分娩时去世。自此以后，维克多沉迷于将母亲复活的狂想与实验中，*终他制造出了怪物，却迷失了自己。对利亚姆·斯卡利特而言，这个故事的核心是一个温柔的关于爱的故事，那只怪物并不是一个单纯的反面角色，而是一个被剥夺了家庭的没有受到教养的人。

 

新现场引进的高清影像是2016年录制的，由首席舞者费代里科·博内利饰演敏感疯魔的维克多，史蒂文·麦克雷饰演强大可怕的怪物，纯洁善良的伊丽莎白则由劳拉·莫雷拉饰演。这部*具戏剧冲突的舞剧，对于演员的表演提出了极*的要求，这一组卡司的演出可谓是无懈可击的。其中，史蒂文·麦克雷的怪物已经成为他的标志性角色之一。

Frankenstein by The Royal Ballet

 

Victor Frankenstein is about to leave home for university, away from his family and Elizabeth, the woman he loves. Just before he departs, his mother dies in childbirth. Victor becomes obsessed with the idea of bringing his mother back to life, and his relentless studies eventually lead him to animate non-living matter. Repulsed by the Creature he has brought into the world, he flees.

 

Liam Scarlett's Frankenstein, his first full-length ballet for the Royal Opera House main stage, is an adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic Gothic novel. The score, composed for the ballet by Lowell Liebermann, sweeps the dramatic action towards its devastating end, while the detailed and chilling designs by John Macfarlane bring the Creature and the anatomy lab to terrifying life.

 

Scarlett's choreography is highly expressive and dramatic as it explores the grief and desperation felt by Victor and the Creature's childlike need for acceptance. The ballet's momentum is sustained by the whole Company, with fellow students pushing Victor further into isolation and obsession, couples swirling around the stage in a dark waltz at his wedding, and the inevitable, tragic end.
