參與式劇場的公共性：以故事工廠《我們與惡的距離》全民公投劇場版為例

Abstract

2020年故事工廠取得10年的劇場改編權，將公共電視社會寫實劇《我們與惡的距離》改編為全民公投劇場版，以參與式劇場為主軸，打破以往的觀演關係，運用觀眾參與的形式進行投票決定結局走向，觀眾於現場也可以針對議題發表意見以及直接與相關專家學者進行談話。此劇2020年至年於全臺各場館進行42場的巡迴演出，締造近乎場場完售的成績，相關公共議題持續在網路上產生討論。本論文的研究問題為探討如何使觀眾與社會議題產生連結？探討參與式劇場如何創造對話的空間？參與式劇場如何串聯與社會的關係並建構其公共性？本研究為質性研究，採取半結構式深度訪談，透過訪談故事工廠《我們與惡的距離》全民公投劇場林佳鋒監製以及黃致凱編導，獲取第一手資料，並參照既有的文獻，統整出本研究三個結論：一、運用社會模擬可以使觀眾與社會議題產生連接。二、運用有形與無形的媒介打造觀眾對話空間。三、促進觀眾對於公共議題的討論和關注，以提升劇場社會價值和影響力In 2020, Story Factory obtained a 10-year theater adaptation license for the social realism drama"The World Between Us," adapting it into a participatory theater version focused on public referendum. This adaptation breaks the traditional audience-performer relationship by using audience participation to vote on the outcome of the story. Audiences are also encouraged to express their opinions on the issues presented and engage in direct conversations with experts and scholars. From 2020 to 2023, this play was performed 42 times in various venues across Taiwan, achieving nearly sold-out shows each time and sparking ongoing discussions on public issues online.The research question of this thesis explores how to connect the audience with social issues, how participatory theater can create a space for dialogue, and how participatory theater can bridge relationships with society and construct its public relevance.This research is a qualitative study that adopts semi-structured in-depth interviews. By interviewing Lin Jia-Feng, the producer, and Huang Zhi-Kai, the director and playwright of Story Factory's participatory theater version of "The World Between Us," first-hand data was obtained. By referencing existing literature, this study concludes with three findings: 1.Social simulation can connect the audience with social issues. 2.Tangible and intangible media can be used to create a space for audience dialogue. 3.Promoting audience discussion and attention to public issues enhances the social value and impact of theater.
