充满阴郁氛围的澳大利亚哥特式戏剧！

柏林电影节最佳女演员倾情演绎

集幽默、暗黑、感人和讽刺于一身

为你讲述一个发生在澳大利亚丛林深处的故事

 

故事梗概：

《暗夜潜流》时间设定在1999年，故事发生在新南威尔士州乡村一处废弃的牧羊场。牧羊场残破不堪，曾经的辉煌不复存在，有的只是黑暗和污秽。牧羊场坐落在小河旁边，如今河水不断上涨。太阳西沉，洪水困住了三个女人:一位母亲和她的两个女儿。其中一个女儿一直照顾着母亲，而另一个已经离开这里20年了。这时，舞台上的大门突然打开，离家的女儿凯瑟琳从伦敦回到家中。她在一个幽闭空间里渐渐被周围的雨水和腐烂的味道吞噬，关于她们家族的真相也渐渐浮出水面。

 

《暗夜潜流》是一部哥特式澳大利亚戏剧，背景是月光下的乡村景色，桉树的黑色影子映衬着逐渐暗淡的天空，这一切仿若从面纱中可见。一切都超现实，却又太过于现实，有家长里短，但也犹如史诗一般。在面纱下，是混乱的生活，是过去的记忆，幽闭空间的恐惧将要湮没我们。三位主演均是澳大利亚最具实力的女演员，三人加在一起曾获得过包括柏林电影节在内的五个最佳女演员奖项。

 

哥特式风格一直都被认为是欧洲特有的，浪漫、神秘和一丝若隐若现的压迫感，是哥特式风格的标志。这些极具当代性和历史性的元素被融入进了这个故事中。当河水升起时，让我们和这三个女人一起度过一个夜晚，看一看恶魔与人类的交汇。

Synopsis:

With a reputation across 5 continents for theatre that is provocative, moving, genre-defying and unique, Finucane & Smith Unlimited bring to the Shanghai International Theatre Festival its first original Australian drama, the haunting Australian Gothic The Flood.

 

The Flood – the year is 1999 and the setting is a disused sheep farm in rural NSW. The farm is dilapidated, the homestead, once magnificent, is now dark and squalid. It sits by the river and now the river is rising. As the sun sets, the flood waters trap three women; a mother and her two daughters, one who takes care of her, one who has been away for 20 years. The screen door bangs open; Catherine has returned home from London, and amidst the claustrophobia, driving rain and decay, the truth about their family begins to float to the surface.

 

The Flood is brought to life by 3 of Australia’s most acclaimed actresses who are hot property wherever they go; from 5 best actress awards between them to Maude Davey’s Berlin Film Festival best actress to Shirley Cattunar’s 55 years in demand; to Caroline Lee’s starring in Cate Blanchett’s directorial debut at STC A Kind of Alaska, these are the kinds of actresses people are talking about when they say “you HAD to be there”. 

 

The Flood is an Australian Gothic. The set is a vast moonlit landscape, the black shadows of eucalypt trees against a darkening sky, seen through a veil of flywire. It is surreal and only too real; domestic and epic. Inside,

 

The Flood is an Australian Gothic. The set is a vast moonlit landscape, the black shadows of eucalypt trees against a darkening sky, seen through a veil of flywire. It is surreal and only too real; domestic and epic. Inside, a life of clutter, of memories pasted over, of claustrophobic chaos threatens to drown us. The gothic is often seen as a particularly European quality, but its hallmarks - the romantic, the uncanny and the sense of looming threat - are threaded through many tales, both contemporary and historic written about the Australian bush. When the river rises we spend the night with these three women and see the interface between the monstrous and the mundane.
