我最喜愛的芭蕾劇 -《吉賽兒》

原名為 Giselle, ou les Wilis

是浪漫芭蕾舞劇。

公認為古典芭蕾表演經典中的傑作。

首次由皇家音樂學院劇院芭蕾舞團

在巴黎的歌劇院佩爾蒂埃廳 

1841  6  28 日演出。

之後無數的芭蕾舞劇團絶美的演出,

詮釋出19世紀浪漫主義,

芭蕾美學的極致。


它是浪漫主義芭蕾舞劇的代表作。

浪漫主義的兩面:

光明與黑暗、生存與死亡。

第一幕的田園埸景,

中世紀德國萊茵河畔的村莊。

第二幕的夢幻風格,

眾幽靈羣舞的典範作品。


第一幕:

美麗、純真的吉賽兒和家人住在山村。

獵人希拉里昂傾心於吉賽兒,

無奈吉賽兒不喜歡他。

阿爾伯特伯爵化名勞伊斯,

扮成農民來到村莊。

吉賽兒愛上了他。

與他共度美好的歡樂時光。


西里西亞公爵帶着女兒巴季爾德

和家人們來到山谷路過吉家,

受到吉賽兒的親切接待。

巴季爾德贈給她項鍊。


希拉里昂搜出阿爾伯特的劍和號角,

證明阿原是貴族,

説服吉賽兒不要受騙,

然而吉賽兒已愛上阿爾伯特。

巴季爾德出示訂婚戒,

宣告早已與阿爾伯特訂婚。


吉賽兒知道真相後,

扔掉巴季爾德送的項鍊,

神魂顛倒,悲憤而終。


第二幕:

森林墓地旁一羣生前被負心遺棄的女魂

四處飄零。

走入森林的男人都被迫跳舞

直至精疲力竭。

希來里昂來到墓地即被幽靈們圍住。

懊悔的阿爾伯特也來到吉賽爾墓前。

幽靈們也要置其於死地。

由於吉賽兒的包容而得以倖免。


黎明的鐘聲響起,

吉賽兒和幽靈們消逝了。

阿爾伯特悔恨莫及。

永遠失去了她。

吉賽兒因阿爾伯特而死,

阿爾伯特因吉賽兒的善美幽靈

而得以救贖。


曲終人散,

漸漸由夢幻凄美的時空走出來。

空氣中依然有股無法承受的重。


My favourite ballet -

 Giselle the original name is 

Giselle, ou les Wilis

It's a romantic ballet with two scenes.

It is recognised as a masterpiece of classical ballet performance classics.

First by the Royal Academy of Music Theatre Ballet,

at Le Peletier in Paris

Performed on June 28, 1841.

After that, countless ballet troupes performed beautifully.

Interpreting 19th century romanticism,

and the ultimate beauty of ballet aesthetics.


It was a representative work of romantic ballet.

Light and darkness, survival and death.


The pastoral scene of the first act,

A village on the Rhine River in medieval Germany.

The dream style of the second act, 

the ghost dance was an exemplary works.


Act 1 :

Beautiful and innocent Giselle lived in a mountain village with her family.

The hunter Helicon fell in love with Giselle,

But Giselle did not like him.

Count Albert's disguised name was Lloyds,

He came to the village disguised as a farmer.

Giselle fell in love with him.

Have a good time with him.


The Duke of Silesia took his daughter Badilde and family came to the valley and passed by Giselle’s house 

and was received kind hospitality by Giselle.

Badilde gave her a necklace.


Hillerion found Albert's sword and horn.

Prove that he was an aristocrat,

Persuaded Giselle not to be deceived,

However, Giselle has fallen in love with Albert.

Badilde showed the engagement ring and announced that she has already been engaged to Albert.

After knowing the truth

Giselle threw away the necklace given by Batilde.

she was distracted and left the world sadly and indignantly.


Act 2 :

A group of female souls abandoned by the forest cemetery.

They floating everywhere.

The men who walked into the forest were forced to dance.

Until exhaustion.

Hillerion was surrounded by ghosts when he came to the cemetery.

Regretful Albert also came to Giselle's tomb.

The ghosts also wanted to kill him.

He was spared by Giselle's tolerance.


The dawn bell rang,

Giselle and the ghosts have disappeared.

It was too late to regret.

Albert lost her forever.

Giselle died for Albert.

Albert was redeemed because of Gischild's good and beautiful soul.


The ballet was over.

Gradually came out of the dreamlike time and space.

There was still an unbearable heaviness 

in the air.

歸途 - The way back

 


盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 

世風日下,人心不古。

戰爭、邪惡勢力當道,

人間成為煉獄。

亂世浮生,迷失在無盡的苦難。

 

唯有心存善念,堅守正義是歸途。

每一份善良力量

都是在改變世界。


In today's society, 

people's temperament has deteriorated, 

and they are no longer simple and kind, 

but deceit and hypocritical, 

and their hearts are no longer as simple 

as the ancients.

War and evil forces are in power,

The world becomes purgatory.

In a chaotic and turbulent society, 

people float like duckweed.

Lost in endless suffering.


Only with good intentions 

and sticking to justice 

is the way back.


Every power of kindness

is changing the world.

泥土給予自然界的禮物無遠弗屆:

生物棲息地。

提供植物生長所需。

養分和有機物轉變的所在。

甚至可製造生活用品與藝術創作。


陶瓷藝術

是人類的傳統工藝。

這種製作、著色的技巧,

最早可追溯至遠古石器時代。

由民生器皿,逐漸演化成了一種

藝術表現。

現代陶藝有原始、古典、民俗、

現代主義和後現代主義等幾種藝術風格,

與繪畫、雕塑同為造型藝術。


除了繪畫,我不曾有雕塑、陶藝之類創作。

自知沒這方面的才華。

女兒喜歡陶藝創作,

近來力勸我去試試看做陶藝活動。

九月至今每星期三小時,

倒是有做出一點心得。


陶瓷製作首先要練土 – 

練土是要讓泥土內的空氣排岀,

也就是搓泥的動作。

然後塑形 – 

心中所想的完全寄託在每一寸泥土中。

耐心、專注,

平心靜氣的完成素胚。

等待大約7天乾燥。

再將素胚放入窰燒製。

第一次燒攝氏960度,稱為素燒。

素燒完成,可以選擇自己喜愛的釉色,

用浸泡或以筆畫方式上釉。

上釉完畢,再把作品放入窰,

開始第二次燒攝氏約1200度,

稱為釉燒。


由練土至完成釉燒

作品的美好或有遺缺

都是自己的。

美好或不美好都要接受。

令我領悟到其中的哲學:

遺憾抱怨會令人更沉重憂傷。

要與自己和解。

接受不完美的人生,不完美的自己。

由錯誤、經驗中修正、改善

學習、成長,進步⋯


The gift of soil to nature is far from boundless -

Biological habitat.

Provide a medium for plant growth.

A place for the transformation of nutrients and organic matter.

It can even make daily necessities 

and artistic creation.


Ceramic art

it is a traditional human craft.

This kind of production and colouring skills,

The earliest can be traced back to

the Paleolithic period.

From people's livelihood utensils, 

it has gradually evolved into a kind of

artistic performance.

Modern pottery has primitive, classical, folklore,

several art styles such as modernism 

and postmodernism,

together with painting and sculpture, 

it is also a plastic art.


Apart from painting,

 I have never created sculptures 

and pottery works.

I know that I have no talent in this field.

My daughter likes to create pottery.

Recently, I have been advised to try 

to do pottery activities.

Three hours a week since September,

I have made a little experience.


First of all, we need to drain the air 

from the soil.

That is, the action of rubbing mud.

Then shape –

What We think in our heart is completely pinned in every inch of soil.

Patience and concentration,

completed works with peace of mind.

Wait for about 7 days to be dry.

The first burn is 960 degrees Celsius,

After that , we can choose our favorite 

glaze color.

Glaze it with a brush or soak in color.

After glazing, put the work into the hairpin.

At the beginning of the second burning of about 1200 degrees Celsius,

It is called glaze.


From soil training to completion of glaze,

the beauty of the work may be lacking

It's all our own.

Whether it is good or not, 

it should be accepted.

Let me understand it’s philosophical connotation 

Regrets and complains 

can make people more sad.

Accept an imperfect life, 

an imperfect self, 

be reconciled with ourself.

Correct and improve 

from mistakes and experience.

Keep learning and growing 

and make progress…
