The Black and Blue of a Man
(North-East Village Edition)
《李逵的藍與黑(東北村落版)》
{Site-Specific/ 環境劇場}
When Lee Kwai comes down from the mountain, all he can see ahead of him is a river running into the horizon; as he looks back, the mountain disappears into a heavy mist. He feels the chill in his heart and could not help singing:
“Dream is but a dream
A dream only exists in dreamland
I don’t have a dream
A dream will only make me sad
Aspiration are useless
Thinking too much hurts my feelings
I dare not venture into deep thoughts or I would brag
Life is running fast like a river
There’s nothing you can carry with you, like the wind
The more you dream
The more depressed you feel
Don’t think
Don’t think
Don’t think
Not that I don’t want to think…” Suddenly he feels like he was thunderstruck, and then he realizes it was only a dead wild goose falling onto his head. Feeling dizzy, he sees that the world is becoming black and blue…. (Performed in Cantonese)
李逵下得山來,眼前所見,盡是一片江水滔滔不見天,回頭一望,卻是霧氣騰騰不見山,心中一涼,禁不住唱道:「想,只是夢想,夢想只存在夢鄉;我,沒有夢想,夢想只讓我惆悵;想,只能亂想,亂想太多會內傷;我,不敢亂想,亂想會令我膨脹。一生匆匆,像流水;兩手空空,隨空吹;多少的夢想,是多少的惆悵。不想不想不想,不是我不想……」他唱著唱著,忽覺五雷轟頂,原來是一隻凍僵了的孤雁,打在他的頭上。矇矓中,他看見天邊出現了一片藍色和黑色……
