建築與芭蕾舞: Ballet Nacional de Marseille + Zaha Hadid

看新聞介紹, 今天於美國紐約Lincoln Center有一個由Ballet Nacional de Marseille演出的芭蕾舞劇目: Metapolis II, 由比利時編舞家Frédéric Flamand及著名建築師Zaha Hadid合作的作品. 把建築的精髓放到舞台上並以舞者演繹, 真是沒有機會看過...

Frédéric Flamand於1999年找Zaha Hadid, 一直欣賞她的設計, 認為她的建築建基於動感, "She creates a very fluid space and continuous transformation. We wanted to make the dancers dance, of course, but to make the space dance too." Flamand說. 舞台上會放置三條鋁造的橋, 讓舞者和它們互動. 舞者的服裝都是Zaha Hadid包辦.

或許就如建築師Scofidio所說, "Architecture is a performance." 另一位建築師Aaron Betsky也說"Architecture is a kind of urban ballet."還有: "one of the central conceits of architecture is that it is a translation — in stone and concrete — of the human body in its proportions and its very elements, and that it’s halfway between the human body and the bigger world."

唯有看看相片吧.
