当极具创造力的当代编舞大师阿库·汉姆(AkramKhan)把目光投向玛丽·雪莱的科幻杰作《弗兰肯斯坦》时,就足以引起舞迷们的尖叫与期待。这部《造物》将故事背景放置当代,在一个破旧废弃的极地研究站中,人类为了满足自己在地球上最后的无主之地进行殖民的愿望,拿“人形生物”进行身体的实验。善良的清洁工玛丽的出现为“生物”带来了爱与希望,两人脱离掌控的行为遭到长官的打压,迫使“生物”走向沃伊采克式的悲剧结局。孟加拉裔编舞家阿库·汉姆是当今最具世界影响力的编舞家之一,他自幼接受南亚古典舞体系训练,在与英国国家芭蕾舞团、芭蕾男孩舞团,云门舞集等知名舞团的广泛合作中,又吸取西方现代舞与芭蕾舞的精华,风格杂糅,却又呈现得十分纯粹。其代表作《吉赛尔》《陌生人》等曾荣获奥利弗奖、南岸天空艺术奖等多项大奖。在新作《造物》中,他选择用充满张力的舞蹈动作,塑造被禁锢的身体与渴望自由的灵魂,人性与兽性的拉扯交锋。
故事发生在一个大雨滂沱的爱尔兰渔村,讲述一位母亲为了保护儿子而撒谎,以及这个选择对她的社群、家庭和她自己造成的毁灭性影响。
