《罅隙》
我們都知道那道罅隙，在兩腿之間。
我們都知道那道罅隙，在兩代之間。
我們都知道那道罅隙，在兩性之間。
但我們很少承認這道罅隙的存在，即使承認了，我們很少探訪。
我們都來自這道罅隙，這道我們公認為不潔、不雅，兼且臭氣撲鼻的地方。
我們了解這道罅隙的需要嗎？我們可以用甚麼來填補罅隙中的空虛？
上一代與我們之間的罅隙、上一代兩腿之間的罅隙，跟我們兩腿之間的罅隙有共通點嗎？獻給所有為了我們，而空虛多年的罅隙，向我們的上一代致敬！
創作理念與動力：
阿嫲，原名祖母，俗稱老豆個老母，1928年生，女性。
孫女，原名乖孫，又作呀仔個女，1974年生，女性。
這是一個關於相隔五十年的兩嫲孫的故事。
從突擊刺探孫女是不是處女到聳恿孫女與男生單獨旅行到替上電視接受有關同性戀訪問的孫女錄影到開口問：「你同亞邊個邊個係咪叫搞基？」
到底阿嫲的同恐是來自傳統的教誨抑或自身的醒覺？二十年代的女性若對性和性身份存疑，如何自處？一個深信阿嫲若遲五十年才出世就一定是同性戀的孫女，追尋二十年代女性（即阿嫲）被抑壓的各種情慾，赫然發現原來這個年代的抑壓實在不遑多讓！由向阿嫲站出來說起，孫女帶你一同探索女人走過的路。
演出形式：
從陰道出發，tomcatt將帶領各觀眾深入女性身體，參觀我們的終極「鄉下」，讓女性能跟這個自己體內最重要的器官接觸、對話；讓男性能跟這個孕育自己成人的器官打照面。這是一個導賞團，因此觀眾必須準備四處走動，積極投入發問及觀賞，一起發掘女人因這個器官的隱密性而走過的路、受過的譏諷，還有失去的高潮與豐足。
fill the
gap
There’s a gap down there. And then there’s the gap between herself
and her gap down there. And then
there’s the gap between us and our grandparents and the gap between our gaps
down ours and their gaps down theirs.
And then…
There’s always a gap with a desire to be filled with
compassion, love and understanding.
A tribute to all the gaps down there, that were
being suppressed and ignored. For
all the gaps that have suffered and never been filled by the way they wished
and what they desired. For all the
women who have never been able to feel their own gaps down there.
The Motivation:
She was born in 1928. She is mother to the father. She is grandma, the nanny.
She was born in 1974. She is daughter to her son. She is the granddaughter.
This is a story about a granddaughter trying to fill the
50-year-gap between grandma and her.
Grandma has always been smart.
Hot Shot, Pop Quiz!
Ø
“Are you still a virgin?”
Ø
“Why are you traveling alone with your girl friend? Why don’t you travel with Tony the
computer guy?”
Ø
“Don't worry, I have taped the
TV show with you talking about homosexuality.”
Ø
“By the way, are you and Amy gay?”
What is it about grandma? What’s the calling inside her? Was it homophobia? Or would it be the awakening of her
self-identity?
What happened when women who were born in the 1920s were
in doubt of their sexuality or their granddaughters’ sexuality?
Could grandma be a lesbian if she were born in the 1970s?
What are the obstacles that stopped women from expressing
their sexual needs throughout the history/ herstory? Are we ever liberated?
The Format:
I bet you have
never been there again ever since you left it. I bet you haven’t got the slightest idea
of how to get there. I bet you
think it’s the filthiest place in the world. Mind you, there’s where you are
from. How does the gap get between
us and our “home town?” Your tour
guide, tomcatt, would lead you walk through the life
of a woman by letting you go inside her body and explore. The journey would start from the vagina. Stories about lost orgasms and sex would
be told. Please make sure you are
prepared to walk around and experience with your whole body.
