如果你的照片不够好,那是因为你靠得不够近——罗伯特·卡帕
英国空动剧团2015年新作《战火玫瑰》根据首个牺牲在前线的女战地摄影记者格尔达·塔罗生平改编。1954年,二十世纪最著名的战地摄影师罗伯特·卡帕在越南踏上地雷的一瞬间,胸前皮夹里有一张褪色的照片,照片上的女子名叫格尔达·塔罗。塔罗是卡帕一生的挚爱,他为此拒绝了英格丽·褒曼(影后)的求婚,终生未娶。
格尔达·塔罗1910年生于德国,后因反对纳粹移居巴黎,师从安德烈·弗里德曼学习摄影。他们因报道西班牙内战照片“战士之死”一举成名,并合用同一化名出售照片:罗伯特·卡帕。1937年,塔罗在前线殉职,年仅26岁。而弗里德曼终生保留了罗伯特·卡帕的化名,最终成为史上最著名的战地摄影师。九十年代,塔罗的手提箱在墨西哥被发现,里面有西班牙内战时拍摄的3500多张底片。
《战火玫瑰》是空动剧团迄今为止气场最强大的作品,艺术风格依然是时空交错和多主线并行,多部投影仪营造出华丽的舞台效果和强烈的视觉冲击力,而比比皆是的老式闪光灯、相机和打字机则带来怀旧的温馨。
《战火玫瑰》创作团队云集了英国当今戏剧顶尖人物,包括罗特·维克汉姆(脚本,皇家莎士比亚剧院《玛蒂尔达》副导演,该剧曾获英国舞台艺术最高奖奥利弗奖七项大奖)、丹·坎姆(英国顶级现代舞团DV8动作指导)、亚伦·纳巴罗(舞美设计,他参与创作的《深夜小狗神秘事件》是近年来英国风头最劲的舞台作品)等。

If your pictures are not good enough. you are not close enough.
"A poetic and visual feast...deeply powerful... a true ensemble piece" -- The Stage
Since the invention of photography we have collectively taken over 3.5 trillion photographs. Total Theatre Award nominated Idle Motion search within these snapshots to expose one of the most remarkable untold stories of our age.
It is 1933 and a young German refugee flees to Paris, reinventing herself as Gerda Taro. Discovering the wonder of photography, she falls in love with a fellow refugee who teaches her, ‘if your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough’. Together they venture to the Spanish Civil War and capture the tyranny of fascism. As pioneers of frontline photo journalism, he would go on to receive international recognition as the iconic war photographer Robert Capa - she would be forgotten.
Using innovative staging, physicality and multimedia, internationally renowned company Idle Motion piece together the life of an exceptional woman, glimpsed through the lost photographs she risked her life to take.
