如果緩慢遺忘是必然,再見怎麼捨得說出口?

布袋戲與現代劇場的跨界 共同修煉藝術與人生

一聲聲傳統口白 一道道生命咒語

一個關於「好人」的故事 一封名為「指望」的家書

臺上戲散 臺下的人卻不願離開 道別從來不是件容易的事

《指忘》是關於一對布袋戲班父子的故事。一生為戲偶懸命的老偶師逐漸年邁,面對失智與死亡的恐懼,「再見」怎捨得說出口?多年未返家的年輕偶師,重述著兒時的野台廟戲光陰,告解著父親的好與壞。他們在民間闖蕩生存,為的就是不愧對戲神王爺賞的一口飯,正如布袋戲七丑之一的雜角大頭仔,世代認命地在別人的故事裡扮演配角。本劇將以大頭仔為主角編寫全新故事,聯手布袋戲偶師及劇場演員,交織一場關於布袋戲「技藝」與人生「記憶」的演出。
