"Seagulls" is Volcano’s acclaimed Radical Classic production, based on Chekhov’s The Seagull.  This production brings the excitement of Volcano’s site-responsive theatre back into the auditorium with a design installation by young performance designer Milla Clarke and lighting designer Ben Stimpson.  The production has Chekhov’s text interwoven with sections of fast moving improvisation and incorporates surprising technical elements.  It is an impossibly sad, unreasonably funny and ludicrously inventive version of a Russian classic.
演員在水深及踝的舞台上尋找出路,懸吊半空中追求愛情;孤立無緣的狀態下,有的人放棄,有的人繼續堅持。英國「火山劇團」以即興肢體及精巧機關打造《海鷗》專屬劇場,以哀傷又滑稽的手法重新詮釋契訶夫的經典劇作。舞台裝置暗喻各種人生的掙扎和追尋,挑戰演員對空間的認知和反應,也推動劇中人的心境和行動。

Production 演出與製作團隊

Volcano is an artist-led, outward-focused organization that explores ideas and social relations through performance. Volcano embraces the immediacy, surprise, and risk at the heart of live performance, viewing its audiences as active participants. The company occupies a disused industrial city-centre building where it creates original work and hosts visiting arts.
Volcano has the ability to move quickly and imaginatively to make things happen, and has a track-record in inspiring and engaging others, working in partnership and setting big ideas in motion. We have been creating and touring high-impact professional theatre productions all over the world for over 27 years.
