Introduction 📖 剧目简介

《The Ship》是一部多语言、非线性叙事的元剧场戏剧。
改编自斯特凡·茨维格的《象棋的故事》，在第二次世界大战期间，一艘从中国驶向南半球的巨型邮轮上，一场意外的对弈引发了人们的震惊——一个神秘陌生人，竟然轻松战胜了国际象棋世界冠军琴多维奇。然而，当众人期待续弈之时，这位陌生人突然陷入了崩溃。他是谁？经历过怎样无法言说的过往？随着故事展开，我们穿越支离破碎的记忆与幻觉，窥见一个时代的阴影：孤独、精神抗争与对极权暴力的无声抵抗。这不仅是一个人的自我拯救，也是个人在幻觉与现实之间挣扎生存的心理地图。

本作品是一部假定性与叙事性兼具的剧场作品，对演员的表演技巧、想象力与信念感有较高要求。我们希望寻找有一定表演经验，并渴望在身体、语言与想象之间挑战自我、探索更大表现空间的成熟演员，共同完成一次充满创造性的合作旅程

The Ship is a multilingual, non-linear, meta-theatrical work, adapted from Stefan Zweig’s novella The Royal Game.
Set during World War II aboard a massive ocean liner sailing from China to the Southern Hemisphere, a mysterious man unexpectedly defeats the reigning world chess champion, Czentovic, during an impromptu match. Yet just as a second game is about to begin, the man collapses.
Who is he? What hidden past does he carry?
As the story unfolds, shattered memories and surreal visions intertwine, revealing a psychological landscape of loneliness, resistance, and survival under totalitarianism.
This is not only a story of personal redemption but also a silent rebellion against violence and authoritarian control.

This production demands strong imagination, narrative technique, and commitment to belief from its actors.
We are seeking experienced performers who are ready to challenge themselves across body, language, and storytelling, and who are eager to embark on a collaborative and adventurous creative journey.
