中阴身BARDO

“中阴身”（梵语：antarābhava，藏语：𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐎）是佛教，尤其是藏传佛教与汉传密教中，关于“死后至再生之间”的一个重要概念。它指的是人死后意识脱离肉体，在尚未投胎转世前所经历的一个中间阶段。而这次的演出，将通过环境剧场的表演方式，结合现场乐队的实验与摇滚演奏，以全新艺术角度呈现华人丧礼丰富的仪式。演出一共分成七个乐章，全长70分钟，（1）诵经超度召来中阴身。（2）发现肉身后感到迷惑试图寻找方向。（3）进入冥想回忆各种因果。（4）多方尝试进入肉身不果，因投胎大限将至而产生恐惧。（5）受到生前业力牵引走上奈何桥，陷入六道轮回的挣扎。（6）来到地府寻找答案。（7）为丧礼进行焚烧仪式。

This arts program invites audiences to explore Bardo, the state between life and death, a topic often considered taboo in Chinese culture. By shedding light on this mysterious transition, the program offers a deeper understanding of its meaning. The experience combines Sam Koh’s striking art installations, featuring symbolic effigies, with a powerful theatre performance directed by Chin Wai Kong. Together, they bring Bardo to life, sparking reflection on transformation and passage. Adding to the atmosphere, LINDwill perform the haunting soundtrack for the piece, conducted by Sam Koh, blending music seamlessly with the visual and theatrical elements by The Razors Experimental Theatre. Through this creative collaboration, A Journey Through Bardo encourages audiences to confront cultural taboos, embrace curiosity, and reflect on the spaces between life, death, and beyond.
