八位同學與一個已經演出了的劇場作品，可以重新創作成一個怎樣的影像作品？可以是一艘怎樣穿梭於「艱辛歲月」裡的太空船？
「我們在這個information-saturated 的世界，我們每天都會接收、接觸和傳播很多訊息，但很容易ignore 『現在』和 『當下』，一些看似很簡單和平凡的事物，如食材，其實當我們在切、剝和拎它們的時候，每一步都是一個moment 和經歷，如此平凡，其實就是我們的『歲月』。⋯⋯『艱辛歲月』中的『艱辛』不一定是指頹垣敗瓦或者是歷經風霜那種程度的『艱辛』，在『廚房』 裡面，我感受到的緊張而有點不知所措其實也是屬於我的『艱辛』。」其中一位經歷了演前導賞、演出、體驗式工作坊的同學如此說。
「重臨莊月明文化中心Studio 303 。上一次來這裡是九十年代，當年在這裡帶過幾個系列的通識課。推開門，腦海浮現的是，共同渡過那些時光的人在哪兒？共享那些記憶的，有誰？今日再來這裏，是讓剛看過演出的八位同學，以經歷劇中人做過的，來體驗甚麼是『第一人稱』。」《艱辛歲月》導演、主持體驗式工作坊的林奕華這樣期許。
「劇場就是課室」，因為戲劇的一個重要功能，是demonstration （示範），也就是「推論」，和「實踐」，一個讓「答案」作為「問題」誕生推動力的空間。
日子過了，空間換了，一個作品可以演變成另一個作品，走進、走過艱辛的人，可以從中提煉出怎樣的「宇宙」？
太空船落地了嗎？太空船需要落地嗎？
誠邀你一起登船看看。
What kind of video work can be re-created from a theater work that has already been performed, and eight HKU students who have watched the performance? Could it be a spaceship that shuttles through the "Hard Times"?
"In this information-saturated world, we receive, come into contact with, and spread a lot of information every day, but it's easy to ignore the 'now' and the 'present'. Some seemingly simple and ordinary things, such as food ingredients, are moments and experiences in every step we take in cutting, peeling, and carrying them. Such ordinariness is actually our 'times'... The 'difficulty' in the 'Hard Times' does not necessarily refer to the kind of 'difficulties' we face in our actual lives. In the 'kitchen', the tension and confusion that I felt were also my 'Hard Times’." One of the students who had participated in the pre-performance talk, performance, and experiential workshop said this.
"Returning to Studio 303 of Chong Yuet Ming Cultural Centre. The last time I was here was in the 1990s when I hosted several series of General Education programmes. Pushing the door, I wondered, where are the people who spent those times together? Who shared those memories? Today, the eight students who have just watched the performance came here to experience what 'first-person perspective' means by experiencing what the characters in the play have experienced." Edward Lam, the director of “Hard Times”, and the host of the experiential workshop, expressed his expectations.
"Theater is a classroom" – one of the important functions of theatre works is demonstration, that is, "inference" and "practice"; a space that drives the "answer" as a force for "question" to emerge.
Days have passed, and the space has changed. Can a work be transformed into another work? Can people who have gone through hardships extract what kind of "universe" from it?
Has the spaceship landed? Does the spaceship need to land?
You are cordially invited to come aboard and take a look.
