Rehearsal 2024-ongoing
performance, video, text
Rehearsal is an ongoing performance project through which I teach people all over the world (and everywhere I go) to sing my grandma’s version of “Patriotic March”(愛国行進曲). It is a song she learnt 75 years ago from the Japanese Army who colonized her village during WWII; as well as a song she has altered and forgotten as her memory is influenced by dementia as well as the lack of practice. The performance mimics the form of rehearsal of a chorus.
First shown and performed at Sally’s Fault, Amsterdam, 2024. Special thanks to Sally’s Fault, Amsterdam.
“排练”是一个正在进行的表演项目,通过这个项目,我教世界各地的人们学唱我祖母版本的“爱国行进曲”。这是二战日军殖民时期,她在日军建设的小学里学习日语时每日练习的一首军歌。直到日军撤离为止,这首歌似乎永远在被排练。老了之后,祖母有时候会向子女们炫耀这首歌,但因痴呆症和缺乏练习,她慢慢改变了这首歌的曲调和歌词。
