Upending both the biblical story and Bach’s masterpiece

​

Fusing Baroque music and contemporary theatre, choral artist Patrick Chiu and choreographer Ivanhoe Lam audaciously recast J.S. Bach’s voice types and dramatic figures, where choristers and soloists engage in movement and action, bestowing the crucifixion story and Bach’s choral masterpiece with an entirely new character.

Performers from Hong Kong, Germany, Japan and the USA hailing from a variety of ethnicities and backgrounds — and dressed in everyday clothes — play the roles of Jesus Christ, Peter, Pontius Pilate and the Jewish people. No matter whether in musical treatment, movement and staging, this production peels off layers of history, catapulting Jesus Christ and Bach into the 21st century: When all humanity is interlinked through politics, economics and technology, can we afford to be a spectator? How can anyone bear to live with irrevocable, fatal mistakes?

​

In the role of Jesus, Reginald Mobley is one of today’s hottest countertenors, having been invited to perform at coronation ceremony of Charles III and the BBC Proms this year.

​

Breaking through conventional interpretations of Bach’s music, a preview of this production at Thüringen Bachwochen in the composer’s home country last year received rave reviews.

一次過重鑄聖經和巴赫兩個經典

​

結合古典聲樂及當代劇場，合唱藝術家趙伯承及編舞家林俊浩大膽改動巴赫筆下的聲部以至角色定位，合唱團及獨唱家打破慣例以形體舞蹈演出，將耶穌被釘十字架的故事和巴赫傑作賦予嶄新面貌。

​

來自香港、德國、日本和美國等地，不同膚色和文化背景的歌唱家、演奏家和合唱團，穿上現代社會日常服裝，「扮演」耶穌、門徒彼德、羅馬總督彼拉多及猶太人群眾。在音樂、形體和舞台美學編排下，褪去歷史的外衣，將耶穌及巴赫帶到21世紀：當全球人類因政治經濟科技連在一起，誰能置身事外？如何帶著不可挽回的錯誤活下去？

​

飾演耶穌的 Reginald Mobley為炙手可熱的高男高音，今年受邀於英國國王加冕典禮及BBC Proms演出。

聲蜚合唱節以現代手法重鑄經典，2022年於巴赫故鄉德國預演，為巴赫音樂節揭幕，獲當地對「國寶」瞭如指掌的音樂家及聽眾擊節讚賞。
