乔凡尼的房间 [演出] 豆瓣
Giovanni’s Room
类型: 话剧 编剧: James Baldwin
其它标题: Giovanni’s Room 剧院: Internationaal Theater Amsterdam 导演: Eline Arbo 演员: Eelco Smits / Jesse Mensah / Gijs Scholten van Aschat



Director Eline Arbo adapts James Baldwin's timeless classic for the stage. A music filled performance about love, identity, and the fear of being oneself. Giovanni’s Room explores themes such as sexuality, internalized homophobia, and societal pressure, posing the question: can you ever feel at home if you’re not allowed to be yourself?
A poignant story of passion, loss, and the struggle between deep desire and societal expectations, based on Baldwin’s masterpiece.

看过 乔凡尼的房间 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
典型Eline Arbo戏,在话剧里找诗性的音乐,在舞台上限定更局部的空间。只是以往多是转盘圆形舞台,这次是灯光投影出的四方枷锁,频闪那段梦回了一下法红黑监狱。
作曲依然是Thijs van Vuure,今天的歌唱得尤其动人,Jesse独唱部分不知道怎么调的音非常空灵。Jesse和Eefje和声那段也好妙,两个终于看清了悲剧的人,意识到他们各自的命运和同一个人相关。
扣一星在于仓促的呈现,两小时也不短但还是欠缺合适的节奏。原著里Hella独游西班牙后做出回归异性恋传统家庭的决定就不讨喜,但尚且可以看作逃避自由,可戏里这段莫名其妙很油嘴滑舌。男主平平无奇,Jesse光芒四射,充满激情同时敏感多情,什么意大利男林黛玉。
