McaM 2019 社区剧场 | “闸(jìng)北(ān)游戏”最终呈现

今天的明当代美术馆及周边街道曾属于上海闸北区，现称静安区。2015年11月，静安、闸北区合并，始自晚清的“闸北”成为历史名词，就此落幕。上海人、静安人，你们是否知道闸北是源于苏州河上的两座水闸？是否了解闸北公园在静安区的“错位”？上世纪初，闸北曾是上海工商和文化中心之一，后遭日本侵华战火摧残，95%以上的建筑损毁，自此沦为上海的穷苦之地。但是，这里也是曾是一代代人出生、成长、奋斗、浪漫乃至颐养天年的地方。

剧场是想象的出发之地。自今年3月，明当代美术馆发起这个社会剧场项目，邀请艺术家和20多位曾经居住过闸北或刚来上海奋斗的青年人经过一系列有趣的戏剧工作坊，在空间里不拘一格地想象、涂画、追忆、发声和展现，重新面对变迁之下的种种断裂；用“游戏”的热情，回溯闸北的肌理，让空间和人的故事得以丰盛，让历史得以立足。

由集体创作的作品“闸(jìng)北(ān)游戏”将分别于5月11日和5月12日在大宁路街道社区服务中心和明当代美术馆呈现。

Today’s Ming Contemporary Art Museum (McaM) and its surrounding area once belonged to Zhabei District of Shanghai. In November 2015, this district was merged into Jing’an Disctrict. The term “Zhabei” which had been invented in late Qing Dynasty turned into a history. As a resident in Jing’an or in Shanghai, do you know that the term “Zhabei” refers to the north of the two sluice gates on Suzhou River? Can you understand the reservation of Zhabei Park at Jing’an District? At the beginning of the last century, Zhabei was one of Shanghai's industrial and commercial centers. However, more than 95% of the buildings were destroyed after the Japanese invasion and Zhabei has become a poor place in Shanghai since then. Generations were born and raised in this area. They strived for their life, had romantic stories and enjoyed old age together in former Zhabei District. 

Theatre is a starting point of imagination. Shall we face up to all sorts of fractures due to the continuous changes, and retrace the texture of Zhabei with the enthusiasm of games, so that the story of people and space can be enriched, and the history can be established?

As a work of collective creation, "Zhabei Game" will be presented at Daning Road Subdistrict Community Service Center on 11th May and McaM on 12th May.
