“所谓纸电影，我应该如何描述才好呢？是应称它为一支配了插图的歌谣，或是一本可以拆开来看的漫画？我也说不好，你要来现场看过才知道。”英国纸电影剧团艺术总监如是说道。不再满足于“看故事发生”，纸电影让你在现场“看着故事如何发生”。
七年磨一剑的英国·纸电影《奥德赛》，三位乐手组成的现场乐队兼音效，两位技艺娴熟的纸偶师，75分钟，演一部纯手工纸电影，讲一个荷马史诗里的老故事。每一串音符、每一个镜头与特效，都是在你眼皮底下全手工呈现的：乐手指尖倾泻动人的旋律，白纸上着落黑色墨水，所有人物风景都以极具风格的笔触呈现，黑白的图画从一张张纸上裁剪而出，数不清的纸偶通过现场的投影和偶师们熟练默契的操作配合，在纸片的错落交叠和镜头的远近虚实中，演绎出三维的立体世界。
剧情简介
即便是能掀起惊涛骇浪的黑暗法力，也无法阻挡一个男子汉重回家国的决心。奥德赛一计木马围城攻陷特洛伊，却被迫从此远离家国。一别十年，这位君王从未放弃归家的梦，他的国家、权利和妻子，都被他人觊觎已久，而归家之路道阻且长：食人的独眼巨人、海妖塞壬的死亡绝唱、海神波塞冬之怒……他还要历经几多磨难？关于他已经死去的谣言尘嚣俱上，他什么时候才能归家？他忠诚的妻子能御狼于室外吗？这些问题的答案，都在上帝手中。
* Live performance without spoken words
“immense skill…ingeniously effective” The Times ★★★★
"a delicately executed piece, which is bound to delight" Telegraph ★★★★
“an epic, imaginative voyage” Time Out ★★★★
“ingenious retelling of Homer’s Story” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
Raging storms and supernatural forces prevail over one man’s almighty quest to get home. Immerse yourself in a journey through the high seas, soak up the adventure and encounter danger and exhilaration.
Homer’s cornerstone of literature is vividly told with beautiful illustration and masterful puppetry. Cinematic projection and cunning tricks transform a suitcase full of cut out puppets into an array of living characters and striking landscapes. A silent film is created before your eyes, set to a captivating live score from exceptional musicians.
About the story…
Nine years after the end of the Trojan War the King, Odysseus, has still not returned home. In his absence, his house has been besieged by suitors who are after his crown, wife and lands. Away for 20 years, rumours of his death abound. Why isn’t he back? When will he be home? And will Penelope be able to keep the wolves at bay? These questions are in the hands of the Gods.
The show is an interpretive live performance based on Homers’ The Odyssey, using hand-drawn paper puppets that are brought to life through live cinema. The action is performed to originally scored music, performed and written by The Paper Cinema musicians. The Paper Cinema perform a unique form of live animation and music. Founded in 2004 by Nicholas Rawling, with Imogen Charleston and Christopher Reed, they tour bespoke pieces around Britain and internationally.
The company uses the language of animation, music, film and theatre to lead the viewer through a variety of stories. Intricate pen and ink illustrations are manipulated in real-time in front of a live video camera and projected onto the big screen alongside the performed music, which is integral to the work.
