 Sometimes you just need to scream 

有時，你需要的便是吶喊

Sun Chuo-tai will be exercising his demons in his one-man — if you don’t count musician Jimi Chen — show titled ‘Midlife Crisis’ at the Experimental Theater in Taipei next week.

孫梲泰將在《四十仍惑》的獨舞中，舞去他的心魔。就在下週兩廳院實驗劇場。

Dancer/choreographer Sun Chuo-tai has been having the “times” of his life this year. All of them, almost all at once: the worst of times and the best of times. So the founder of 8213 Physical Dance Theater did what any self-respecting artist would do: He made a show about it.

兼具舞者與編舞雙重身份的孫梲泰這一年可說是風波不斷，「那是最可怕的時光，也是最美好的時光」。所以 8213 的創辦人做了一件藝術家尊重自己的必然選擇－－他將之化為演出。

Sun was having a great year last year when he first came up with the idea of doing a show about turning 40 and how it makes many people take stock of their lives. He thought he would call it Midlife Crisis.

孫在去年第一次想到這個點子－－做一齣關於四十歲的演出、以及四十歲如何影響人們的人生。他想，就叫作《四十仍惑》好了。

Then, in December, his father died.

然而十二月時，他的父親辭世了。

Earlier this year, in fairly rapid succession, he experienced several major life events: marriage, loss of a job, learning he was going to become a father. It is easy to see why he chose an inflatable figure of Edvard Munch’s iconic The Scream as a prop for the show’s promotional photographs.

在 2015 上半年，許多重要的人生事件又快速地襲來：成家、失業、將為人父。不難看出為何他要選擇孟克的《吶喊》來作為宣傳的影像。

However, in a telephone interview on Monday, Sun sounded surprisingly philosophical.

但是在週一的電訪中，孫聽起來令人驚訝地沈靜。

“This year I suffer, I feel bad; I had never had this feeling before. I always succeeded before … so I never understood this feeling,” he said. “I have grown up. I don’t like these things, but I appreciate them.”

「這一年，我承受、我難過，我從未有過這樣的感覺。過去我總是成功的……所以我從未理解過這種感受。如今我長大了，我不喜歡這樣，但我會去接納。」

“This idea last year was different, the focus was memories of my past. So I changed everything,” he said. “Now I need to keep fighting to survive — I feel this time I really need to do some physical dance theater.”

「如今的想法跟去年不同，之前是關於我過去的回憶，現在要的是存活，我真的需要做一齣肢體舞蹈劇場的表演。」

“I am doing the same thing, telling people I can still be a dancer, a performer,” he said. “But telling is not enough, so I want to show it on stage.”

「人總告訴別人，我還能舞、還能表演。但光說是不夠的，我要在舞台上證明給大家看。」

“In this piece you can see weird things happen, but they are not weird for me. A lot of dance professors and critics think that I am trying to be weird, but I am not; it is just my life. It always surprises me,” he said.

「或許你們會覺得這個作品很多地方很奇怪，但對我來說不奇怪。很多專家和舞評認為我就是想搞怪，但我沒有；這就是我的人生，人生就是這麼奇特。」

“This year for my career has been better than last year. God always gives you a joke. I have gotten more opportunities, more money, I went back to Avignon ... At first I felt like a loser, but now, in September I feel ‘wow!,’ he said. “Now I feel that if bad things happen, then I know that good things will happen.”

「今年我的生涯發展地比去年還好，上帝總愛開人玩笑。我獲得了更多的機會與資金，我又去了亞維儂……一開始我覺得自己是個輸家，但九月的現在，我會讚嘆『哇！』，或許，這就是所謂『塞翁失馬，焉知非福。』」
