这是⼀部关于美国西部偶像牛仔比利的音乐剧场。比利在许多电影、歌曲和传记中出现，甚至还有学者研究！但到底他是英雄还是凶手？至今仍然没有人知道答案。社会对牛仔比利的形象塑造已经超越了历史人物的真实写照，也因此，“他”这个形象本身已超越了现实。

在这部作品中，Touki Delphine剧团和Nineties Productions制作公司探索了我们在后真相时代的真相概念。网络世界和事实同样是真实的，传说已经变成了现实，而现实也不断地被当作传说。不仅是牛仔比利，真相本身也将受到批判。

在《牛仔很忙》中，七位音乐家在舞台上举行了⼀场“后真相音乐会”，重建了这位19世纪后期年轻刺客坚韧不拔的传奇人生。公众就是法庭，听着他们道出21年来21起谋杀案的事实。演出中更穿插着令人兴奋的表演：比如如何让在他心脏中央的子弹说话，再比如他的马、干草以及他那两个同伴。丰富多彩且个性鲜明的人物们，通过看似愚蠢的装备和多种多样的乐器来创作歌曲，构成了⼀场引人入胜的精彩原创音乐歌舞表演。

An international music-theater show about the American-Western icon, Billy the Kid. Billy gallops through many films, songs, biographies, and even scientific research. Was he a hero or a murderer? Still nobody really knows who he was, who his consorts were, how many lives he took, why and how he met his own end, or the extent to which his whole story is a myth.

Society’s image of Billy the Kid has outgrown the realities of the historical figure, and with that, he has outgrown the truth.In this performance, Touki Delphine and Nineties Productions researches the concept of truth in our post-truth era. Twitter and facts are equally truthful, myths have become the truth and the truth is constantly mythologized. Not only Billy, but the truth itself will be put to trial.

Touki Delphine

音乐戏剧剧团Touki Delphine对敢于创新的人敞开怀抱，普通人、甚至初级哲学家和家庭主妇都很支持他们。他们能在敢于尝试的人身上发现新的亮点。由于人们的生活习惯，他们还是认为平淡生活最为重要。主要与像Michael Johansson，Marcel Duchamp或David Byrne这样的艺术家合作，他们的灵感都来源于生活。

Touki Delphine由Bo Koek，Rik Elstgeest和John van Oostrum三人组成。 自2012年以来，这个音乐兼视觉艺术三人组每年都会创作一个项目，并善于将高雅与通俗的艺术折衷结合在同一部影像音乐戏剧作品中。

Nineties Productions

“九十年代”的创意团队由三位剧院喜好者组成，他们都出生于八十年代，成长于九十年代。这个团队的成员们有着对相同艺术题材的热爱，并且都喜欢在各种场地，尤其是非常规的剧院场地，为观众们带来不一样的欣赏体验。九十年代剧团的成员们有着共同的愿景，希望建立一种艺术合作的全新模式，而这个富有游牧民族气息的剧团也就此诞生。

Touki Delphine

Music-theatre company Touki Delphine embraces the trying human and is a stark advocate for the ordinary human being, the amateur philosopher or the housewife. We see poetry in the trying man. Assuming the good intentions of most people, we concentrate on the most ordinary everyday actions. We relate mostly to artists like: Michael Johansson, Marcel Duchamp or David Byrne who take everyday objects or scenes as their inspiration.

Touki Delphine is Bo Koek, Rik Elstgeest and John van Oostrum. This music and visual arts threesome has been coming up with one project a year since 2012, in which they combine high and low art into one eclectic and visual music theatre production.

 

Nineties Productions

The Nineties creative team consists of three theater makers, all born in the eighties and raised in the nineties. The team formed through a love of the same subjects and a fondness for making theater for a new audience in various, often atypical locations. Through their shared vision of a new form of collaboration, the nomadic theater collective Nineties was created.

 

 

 

 

 

媒体评价                                                         

“这是比利的一生和其英雄气概的回顾。” — Trouw

“性格丰富的角色随着本土化的广播剧，愚人式的装置和丰富的乐器让戏显得栩栩如生。 “粗糙”的音乐和引人入胜的歌曲作为强大的助推力：简直就是乡村音乐，嘻哈音乐，汤姆·怀特和大卫·鲍伊的融合。”— Volkskrant

“An original look back at the life and heroism of Billy the Kid.” – Trouw

“Colorful characters that come to life with locally created radio plays, idiotic gears and an exuberant set of instruments. The raw music and compelling songs form the powerful diesel: a mixture of country, hip hop, Tom Waits and David Bowie.” - Volkskrant
