一舖清唱
Yat Po Singers 一舖清唱《香‧夭》精華片段 Requiem HK Show Excerpt
《香‧夭》是「一舖清唱」繼2014年於「新視野藝術節」上演並大獲好評的《大殉情》後，又一原創無伴奏音樂劇場，融合音樂、形體、戲劇、視覺藝術、文字創作的藝術元素，內容富有香港本土特色，玩味十足，連繫觀眾對當前狀態的思考，並透過創作推廣無伴奏合唱劇場的表演模式。
《香‧夭》的創作團隊包括作曲家伍卓賢、形體指導伍宇烈、合唱指導趙伯承、文字創作周耀輝，並由「一舖清唱」及多位客席藝術家參與演出，以人聲給香港道出一闕安魂曲。
香港的前世，讀書是求上進，不是求不要跳樓的；媒體是是非非自有公論，不是有人說了就定論的；買樓是可以按部就班地實踐，不是空中樓閣的奢談；好友該是無事常相見，不會隔空對著電話屏幕錄音留言的；貧窮也可以自力更生，不會失去對未來的相信和冀盼的。在面對漸漸失去的同時，在世的人也正迎接種種轉變。《香‧夭》是一個儀式，從安魂曲的進程中，紀念故人舊事，也回到當下，張開眼睛，反思這儀式的背後，叫在世的人如何面對著成長，如何好好活下去！

Forging a cappella music, physicality, theatricality and visuals into a new totality, the new production Requiem HK is our sophomore effort after the success of the first-of-its-kind theatre work ‘Our Immortal Cantata’ (大殉情), which was enlisted also in the New Vision Festival in 2014. Not only the expansion in the reach for a cappella music though adventurous theatre setting, but also the reflections on our status quo brought forth through our quirky inventive and original programming are the quintessence of this long-anticipated new production.
Yat Po Singers is pleased to present a new work Requiem HK (《香‧夭》) in its Hong Kong première at the Ko Shan Theatre New Wing Auditorium in June from 17-19th. Our finest vocal troupe, outstanding guest vocalists and esteemed lyricist Chow-Yiu Fai altogether with creative headmaster trio, composer Ng Cheuk-yin, choral director Patrick Chiu and stage director Yuri Ng, will bring Requiem HK to life in a mesmerising trance, entailing its innate power to console.
The previous incarnation of Hong Kong deserves some of the nostalgic; Gone were the days when diligence had a pay-off; mass media made fair judgement; owning a house was achievable little by little; amity was built upon face-to-face confrontation and nothing to be ashamed of being poor. Our nostalgic is coupled with deprecation of the way things shape up in present time where diligence could drive you into a corner, public opinion is harnessed by one-sided reporting, owning a house is little more than froth, a full-on embrace of techno-gadgets isolates us from the actual touch with real people and poverty plunges us into an abyss of despair.
While we reckon our tremendous loss in those shifts, we are ready for more shifts to transpire. Requiem HK, a soul-soothing sensual experience not for the dead but for life and the living, deals with the transience of life, the remembrance of things past, the need for a final resolution and the prophecy of hope for the future.
