Rent有一段我不太懂... - 舞台劇

※ 引述《ayinie (福小花是我家熊貓)》之銘言：
: 就是第二幕的"Contact"
: 看了演出和歌詞大概知道他們是在幹嘛
: 可是這段跟Angel的死有什麼關聯??
: 為何這段結束後Angel就over了??
: 我翻了歌詞本前面的劇情摘要Contact那段
: 努力研究了很久
: 一對對companions make love後來卻因挫折而不滿足地離開了
: 然後Angel就死了
: 是這樣嗎??
: 但這代表什麼??
: 我還是不懂耶~ (難道是我會錯意?!)
: 可以請板友們解釋一下嗎??
: 多謝~

這個網站不錯喔，可以查到很多歌詞。

contact裡面所表達的基本上就是三對情侶之間的張力、摩擦、愛慾跟衝突。

在這邊出現的對比是R/M, M/J這兩對之間強烈的愛跟佔有慾 vs Angel

前半段可以看到都是Collins/Maureen/Mimi的口白，要、再來、更深入、更多；

然後出現的是Angel的關鍵字：take me, love you； Angel的熱舞表達的是他對

生命的熱愛跟想要抓住生命的慾望，take me是Angel的關鍵詞之一，可以和上半

場Collins和Angel在街頭購物時的那段互相呼應；Collins說，Angel所做的一切

就是在不停的"給予"，這是Angel的本質，indeed, s/he is an angel! :)

s/he said: take me!

一方面像是在對生命宣告，你來，你盡可以帶走我的一切，我不畏懼，另一方面

又像是在跟他的愛人吐露，擷取我，拿走我的一切，今日明日都是為了我們而存

在，不要害怕去愛。

至於他是為什麼死的，其實跟這段舞沒啥關係，他就是因為愛滋病發而死，

contact這段只是在描述在他死前仍不畏懼面對生命去愛的過程，並且帶出另外兩對

之間在面對愛與人生選擇時的種種衝突。


下面是contact的歌詞，已經知道的就可以跳過了。 :)

CONTACT (Various fantasy bed locales)

(The COMPANY forms two main groups. As the music begins, a group of
dancers start a sensual life and death dance, while a group of actors
gather around a table centerstage to speak words of passion which
punctuate the dancing. Eventually, the actors converge on the table and
cover themselves with a white sheet, while moving to the music)
