南太平洋上的重慶“舞流星”

◇ 文|本刊記者 韓 希 圖|受訪者提供

斐濟(jì)，赤道以南的海島國(guó)度，世界公認(rèn)的“幸福感最強(qiáng)國(guó)家”，中國(guó)人眼中的“蜜月勝地”。在電影《楚門的世界》中，楚門一心想去往如天堂一般的斐濟(jì)度假，可見(jiàn)碧海藍(lán)天、度假勝地一直是斐濟(jì)的代名詞。那里洋溢的快樂(lè)氣氛無(wú)處不在，很容易令人忘記煩惱與憂愁。每逢大小節(jié)慶，斐濟(jì)人一定不會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)用音樂(lè)舞蹈?jìng)鞑g樂(lè)的機(jī)會(huì)。

7月初，一群充滿青春活力的姑娘小伙，從北半球的城市重慶出發(fā)，飛躍重洋，為熱愛(ài)生活、縱情歡歌的斐濟(jì)人送去了一份“手舞足蹈”，觀賞性?shī)蕵?lè)性俱佳的中式禮物——雜技。

Fiji,an island country in the south of the Equator,is recognized internationally as “the country with the strongest happiness”and “the sacred place for honeymoon”.In The Truman Show,Truman wants to take a vacation in Fiji wholeheartedly,which proves that Fiji is the byword for beautiful scenes.Happiness can be found everywhere,but sorrows can be found nowhere.On holidays,Fiji people will take every chance to share their happiness by music and dance.

At the beginning of July,a group of energetic boys and girls that come from Chongqing offered a Chinese gift to the passionate Fiji people,that is the acrobatics.

保留節(jié)目登陸年度盛會(huì)

A Repertoire Lands on the Annual Carnival

經(jīng)過(guò)十幾個(gè)小時(shí)的飛行，重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)的成員們來(lái)到了本年度最遠(yuǎn)演出地，南半球極負(fù)盛名的島國(guó)——斐濟(jì)，等待他們的是兩場(chǎng)“重量級(jí)”年度盛會(huì)。斐濟(jì)國(guó)家體育日，以及是南太平洋地區(qū)規(guī)模最大的商品博覽會(huì)——斐濟(jì)商品博覽會(huì)雜技專場(chǎng)。

6月30日是斐濟(jì)國(guó)家體育日，斐濟(jì)民眾在蘇瓦阿爾伯特公園舉行了豐富多彩的體育比賽活動(dòng)以示慶祝。當(dāng)天，斐濟(jì)總統(tǒng)孔羅特親臨活動(dòng)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，還有包括斐濟(jì)體育局局長(zhǎng)及部分政府官員在內(nèi)的1000多名觀眾。稍微熟悉斐濟(jì)國(guó)情的人都知道，這個(gè)擁有300多個(gè)島嶼的國(guó)家僅有一百萬(wàn)人口，國(guó)土面積僅為18000平方公里，但其對(duì)體育的狂熱，堪稱世界典范。相隔地球南北兩端，重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)受邀參加斐濟(jì)國(guó)家體育日，是一次難得而有意義的“禮遇”。

同樣位于斐濟(jì)蘇瓦，一年一度的斐濟(jì)商品博覽會(huì)FIJI SHOWCASE上，有近10萬(wàn)人次參與，F(xiàn)IJI SHOWCASE每年年中在斐濟(jì)首都蘇瓦舉辦，已經(jīng)成功舉辦二十多年了，每年吸引數(shù)百商家云集，同時(shí)還有豐富多彩的文化展示、體驗(yàn)活動(dòng)。和中國(guó)的廟會(huì)有些類似，它既是青少年的游樂(lè)場(chǎng)、美食節(jié)，又是家庭歡聚的休閑去處。今年是斐濟(jì)中國(guó)文化中心第二次派團(tuán)參加這一盛會(huì)，并為重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)的表演開辟了專場(chǎng)，從6月30日持續(xù)到7月4日，共演出9場(chǎng)次，每場(chǎng)30分鐘，每次演出都成為整個(gè)會(huì)場(chǎng)的焦點(diǎn)。

After the fl ight of more than ten hours,Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe arrived at Fiji.Two significant annual carnivals were waiting for them.One is the National Sports Day of Fiji,and the other one is the Acrobatic Special Performance of FIJI SHOWCASE which is the largest commodity fair in the South Pacific.

On June 30th,the National Sports Day of Fiji,the citizens celebrated it with various sport competitions in the Albert Park in Suva.Conrotte,President of Fiji,and more than 1000 audience including the General Director of Fiji Sports Bureau and some government of ficials came to the site of activities.People who are familiar with Fiji will know that this country has more than 300 islands but only has the population of 1 million and the area of 0.18 million square kilometers,and its fanaticism of sports is very typical in the world.Although China and Fiji are located at different hemispheres,it is an uncommon and meaningful “treatment”for Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe to be invited to attend the National Sports Day of Fiji.

The FIJI SHOWCASE is held annually in Suva too,and more than 0.1 million people will attend it.It is held in the middle of a year and has been held for more than twenty years.Hundreds of companies are attracted here,and various kinds of cultural shows and experiencing activities are held.It is a pleasure ground and a gourmet festival for young people and a recreational place for family gatherings.Fiji Chinese Cultural Center has sent a mission to attend this carnival for two times,and a special performance that lasted from June 30th to July 4th was provided by Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe.There were 9 shows,and each show lasted for 30 minutes and was the focus of the fair.

從后臺(tái)到觀眾席的澎湃

Excitement from the Backstage to the Audience

熱愛(ài)體育的斐濟(jì)人到底有多喜歡來(lái)自東方的傳統(tǒng)雜技呢？

“每場(chǎng)演出音樂(lè)一響起，在后臺(tái)的斐濟(jì)工作人員就開始大聲歡呼個(gè)不停，”黎慧紅在重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)工作了近10年，帶隊(duì)演出的經(jīng)歷不少，然而像在斐濟(jì)這樣的“場(chǎng)面”對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)有些震撼。這次，她在后臺(tái)負(fù)責(zé)音樂(lè)播放，她沒(méi)想到，即使不在臺(tái)前，也能體會(huì)到表演有多受歡迎。

而在觀眾區(qū)內(nèi)，尤其是博覽會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)的姑娘小伙兒們更是被當(dāng)?shù)赜^眾的熱情深深感染。

“有個(gè)小男孩手里拿著冰淇淋都忘了吃，化了；有胖胖的小女孩努力地扭動(dòng)著身子想跟我們的步伐一起跳動(dòng)；還有全世界通用的‘馬馬肩’……”演員們回到家鄉(xiāng)重慶，手機(jī)相冊(cè)仍珍藏著這些感動(dòng)他們的細(xì)節(jié)。還有，一波一波不停歇的歡呼、掌聲，密密麻麻對(duì)著舞臺(tái)拍照的手機(jī)，搶到魔術(shù)表演環(huán)節(jié)的中國(guó)結(jié)時(shí)的興奮，總統(tǒng)在草地上親切地與演員握手，還有什么比這些反饋更能說(shuō)明演出的精彩呢？

How much do Fiji people like the traditional acrobatics from the East.

Li Huihong said,“The Fiji staff would cheer loudly on the backstage when the music was on.”This “spectacle”in Fiji is a great shock to Li Huihong who has worked in Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe for about ten years.She was in charge of the playing of music,and she didn’t expect to experience the warm welcome on the backstage.

In the auditorium,especially at the site of FIJI SHOWCASE,the Acrobatic Troupe was deeply inspired by the passion of the local people.They said,“A little boy even forgot to eat his ice cream,and a little girl tried to dance with our steps.It seems that carrying children on the shoulder is globally common......”These actors came back to Chongqing with a lot of photos to cherish these moving details.In addition,the unceasing cheers and applause,a lot of phones that were taking photos,the excitement of picking up a Chinese knot in the magic show,and the handshake between the president and the actors all re fl ect the wonderfulness of this performance.

雜技藝術(shù)盡顯文化元素

Acrobatics Shows the Cultural Elements Completely

如此這番深受好評(píng)的雜技節(jié)目究竟有多厲害呢？

事實(shí)上，擁有65年歷史的重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)，是中國(guó)著名的優(yōu)秀雜技團(tuán)之一，1951年時(shí)叫重慶技藝團(tuán)，后來(lái)由周恩來(lái)總理命名為重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)，它第一個(gè)把數(shù)千年來(lái)以撂地?cái)倿橹鞯碾s技表演搬上正式舞臺(tái)，它第一個(gè)用民族音樂(lè)伴奏雜技表演，第一個(gè)代表中國(guó)參加國(guó)際雜技比賽。甚至，在全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)，擁有“藝術(shù)”二字的雜技團(tuán)也僅此一家。

此次，他們受斐濟(jì)中國(guó)文化中心邀請(qǐng)，帶去了多個(gè)獲得過(guò)國(guó)內(nèi)外大獎(jiǎng)的節(jié)目。比如曾獲全國(guó)雜技比賽銀獅獎(jiǎng)的《空竹》、融入太極這一中國(guó)武術(shù)精魂的雜技《力量》，還有獲得多次國(guó)際國(guó)內(nèi)大獎(jiǎng)的保留節(jié)目《舞流星》，無(wú)一不是在傳統(tǒng)雜技技術(shù)中滲透著中國(guó)元素，詮釋著山城重慶的人文精神風(fēng)貌。

65年來(lái)，重慶雜技藝術(shù)團(tuán)到過(guò)近100個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)的500多座城市出訪及商演。近年來(lái)，更是通過(guò)“借船出海”，利用國(guó)際友城交流、海外中國(guó)文化周、文化年、“歡樂(lè)春節(jié)”和會(huì)展演出、旅游演出、定點(diǎn)演出等多種形式，在美國(guó)、法國(guó)、日本、俄羅斯、烏克蘭等二十多國(guó)，行程四十多萬(wàn)公里，共計(jì)商業(yè)演出達(dá)2279場(chǎng)，帶來(lái)了6425萬(wàn)美元的票房收入。這個(gè)數(shù)字不僅領(lǐng)先于重慶其他藝術(shù)院團(tuán)，而且同比全國(guó)排名也相當(dāng)靠前。重慶雜技已經(jīng)成為世界了解重慶、認(rèn)知中國(guó)的橋梁，成為世界人民感受重慶藝術(shù)、了解中國(guó)文化的紐帶。

How excellent is the acrobatics?
