今天晚上看 Diana Vishneva 跳的罗密欧与茱莉叶,几乎一直,热泪长流。 其实罗密欧与茱莉叶,小说电影甚至芭蕾,都不是第一次看了。最近的一次,是两三年前巴黎歌剧院芭蕾舞团跳的,居然并没有什么深刻的印象,也就只是,one of those,美丽动人的芭蕾舞剧而已。
但是今天的罗密欧与茱莉叶却截然不同,褐色的建筑,繁华的壁画,复杂的服饰,昏暗的灯光,是文艺复兴时期的Verona,伦伯郎的沉闷扑面而来,却丝毫没有达芬奇的微笑。 纷呈的群舞,在市场上喧嚣和嘈杂,Gomez的独舞和领舞,跳着罗蜜欧与兄弟间的友情,以及与乡亲间的亲情;直到茱丽叶的表兄们出现,群舞里开始有群架也开始有击剑,那些剑拔弩张,虽然也漂亮和潇洒,但是刀光剑影杀机四伏。
许久茱丽叶才出场,穿着粉蓝色天鹅绒睡衣,躲在贴身女仆的身后,天真无邪的欢快,不食人间烟火的娇憨。直到与罗蜜欧不期而遇,四目相对的刹那之间,全身颤栗,魂魄激荡,天雷勾动了地火。 一见钟情,再见定情,茱丽叶的阳台下,相思怅望,欲语还休,耳鬓厮磨,夜月花朝。其中最美难度最大的一段双人舞,是Gomez 背负 Vishneva, 连转三圈,甩膀放手,Vishneva 始终贴身连体,如胶如漆。坐在台下翘首欣赏,想到他们即将而至的悲惨,泪眼开始朦胧。
第三段双人舞在茱丽叶的卧室,云朝雨暮鸾颠凤倒,每一次 Vishneva 扑向 Gomes,都有如飞蛾扑火义无反顾,晴天孽海,抵死缠绵,幸福和痛苦做伴,幸运和不幸接踵。让人无语凝噎。 墓地坟场,罗蜜欧托起茱丽叶伤心欲绝哭天抢地,Vishneva 全身垮塌,任凭Gomese 生拉硬拽摇摆晃动,无力挽回从此天人永隔,台下唏嘘一片。
这一次看罗蜜欧茱丽叶,感觉像是第一次。虽然从芭蕾的角度来说,罗密欧与茱莉叶从来不是难度最高的一部,但是其艺术感染力,在我感觉,却是可以排在顶尖的几部。说不出是因为位置特别好坐在第二排呢,还是因为舞台背景灯光效果也做到了顶峰,或许有可能,这个version 的编舞就是上乘。 当然主要,还是因为有Vishneva。
Vishneva 在台上,永远有灵魂出窍的忘我;她的四肢,常常被甩在了身后,如同她身上的裙裾,飘逸飘零飘飘欲仙。而她娇小的身躯,在舞台上游荡,神不守舍飘渺空灵。
演出结束观众迟迟不肯离去,安可声此起彼伏。Vishneva 反复谢幕,如常抽出第一枝玫瑰送给Gomes。台上二人,一再地对视和相拥,相互不断地亲吻脸颊和手背,让人不禁遐想他们幕后的欣赏和爱慕。 Gomez 和 Vishneva 二人的携手谢幕,似乎是剧情的一再延伸,仿佛罗密欧和朱丽叶再次复活。
Speaking of guest artists, it seems to me that you have a particularly special relationship with Diana Vishneva. Do you agree?
[Mr. Gomes smiles with a twinkle in his eyes] Yes. How to describe it in words. It’s about a feeling. About how I’m able to be in control and be humble and she’s able to be as free as she can be. And the way we can both be in the moment on stage. Even in rehearsals. It may be just the way I take her hand, or look at her, and the way she responds. We both start smiling. And when we dance together on stage, it’s always different. I’ll do something different, like touch her cheek in a different way, and she’ll respond in a different way, and I’ll respond to that. It’s like improvisation.
It comes across that way. I’ve seen both of you dance the same roles many times, and it’s never exactly the same. There’s always some difference.
Yes. We react to each other like it’s the first time I’ve danced the role with her, because it is.We’re living in that moment at that time. We don’t imitate what we did before. I look forward to each time I dance with her.
