【節目簡介】聲景紀實音樂劇場《旗津白玫瑰25紀事》
跨國共創、耗時三年，連結土地情感、刻劃生命樣態的動人鉅作！
讓她們的故事，不凝止在船難那刻、不再是令人畏懼的靈異傳說……
以1973年往返旗津與高雄加工出口區渡輪沉船意外，造成25位年輕女工不幸罹難的事件為題材。當時正值臺灣經濟起飛，許多少女為分擔家計跨海到加工廠賺錢，僅因不願遲到被扣工資，紛紛擠上超載的渡輪而發生船難，帶走25位豐沛的靈魂，甚至演變「旗津二十五淑女墓」周邊許多穿鑿附會的靈異傳說。希望透過此作為事件重新正名，在五十多年後的新世紀，嘗試讓所有註解加以鬆綁與重新定義。
聲景音樂 × 紀實影像 × 舞踏元素 × 空間美學
由2022高雄文藝獎之藝術總監陳欣宜作品構作，邀請馬來西亞籍國際知名音樂藝術家黃楚原共同合作，舞台設計由榮獲「德國iF設計獎」的知名建築師趙建銘操刀。經由深入的田野調查，多重尋找與民眾記憶和情感相關的聲音元素，醞釀出連結土地情感、刻劃生命樣態之跨域音樂劇場作品。
內容包括〈軌跡〉、〈選擇〉、〈回家〉三幕，結合聲景音樂、紀實影像、舞踏元素、空間美學等藝術，經由肢體、聽覺與視覺移動的互動機制，透過「25」這個符碼尋著少女離家工作的軌跡，最終回歸各種形態的「家」，經由重新演繹，向撐起臺灣經濟起飛的女力致敬！
Neo-Classical Chamber Ensemble Soundscape Documentary Music Theatre - 25's Cijin White Roses Chronicle
"Soundscape Documentary Music Theatre-25's Cijin White Roses Chronicle", taken In 1973, the shipwreck accident of the ferry between Cijin and Kaohsiung export processing zone, the historical event that resulted in the tragic death of 25 young female laborers, was used as the subject of creation. Since Taiwan's economy was taking flight then, many young girls crossed the sea to the processing factory to earn money to help with their family income. Due to unwilling wages deducted because of being late, they all crowded onto an overloaded ferry and, unfortunately, shipwrecked, taking away these 25 abundant souls, it even evolved into "The Tomb of the Twenty-five Ladies of Cijin". The Neo-Classical Chamber Ensemble hopes, through this creation, to rename this event in the new century fifty years later, to try to make it possible to unbind and redefine all annotations.
Soundscape Music x Documentary Videos x Butoh Dance Element x Space Aesthetics
25's Cijin White Roses Chronicle by the artistic director CHEN Hsin-I, who has won the 2022 Kaohsiung Literature and Art Award, and invites an internationally renowned artist from Malaysia, Ng Chor Guan, to collaborate. CHAO Chien-Ming, a prestigious architect who won the iF International Forum Design Award, will conduct the stage design committee. After in-depth field research, taking three years, through multiple searches for sonic elements related to people's memories and emotions, finally brew connection-emotion to the land and characterize the state of life into a transnational co-creation masterpiece of music theater.
Works include Paths, Choices, and Returning Home three acts, combining soundscape materials, space aesthetic, Butoh dance, documentary videos…and other elements. Through the physical body form, auditory and visual movement's level of interaction mechanism, which demonstrates the crossover of contemporary performing arts' reciprocal existence, letting their stories not end at the moment of the shipwreck, makes it no longer a frightening supernatural legendary tale. Through the number "25" tracking how they left home to work, finally returning "home" in various forms. Through reinterpreting on stage, paying tribute to the female power that propped up Taiwan's economic development take-off.
