活动介绍

快闪族已风靡一时，有想象过什么是隐闪吗？

一场没有彩排的演出，静悄悄地发生在公共空间；一场未知的表演、一次和陌生人的邂逅、一次对城市的探索。你，想体验吗？

初秋的总统府在地，怀旧复古的街边一角，即将上演一场隐闪。这个世界，你是观众，也是演员。我们邀请你成为“乍现影院”《仿佛，最后一次》的主角。

也许过于便捷的通讯工具反而让你和很多人疏于联络，一切变得不那么真实。这些年，你疏远了谁，你想念着谁，你想和谁牵手，盼望跟谁看戏，重返砖石小路…现在就邀请他/她一起来到《仿佛，最后一次》。

点击链接报名成为剧中人，通过电子邮件得到活动发生的时间地点和准备事项。在乍现影院的现场，你将通过MP3播放器聆听音频文件的叙述和指引而成为剧中的角色。在半小时里，演绎与观影无界限。上一秒，你是冷静的观察者，下一秒，你却化身为故事主角，潜入银幕。化身其中，我们被赋予了全新的视角，观察这个世界并与它建立联系。

“无从预测、深刻有力。参加‘仿佛，最后一次’，就是从世界抽离的最佳示范。然后你回来，发现自己看日常事物的角度，已经有所不同。”—TheLondonist

“那是我在伦敦最震撼的经历之一。在伦敦，我看过各式剧场作品，有大型的，也有在酒廊小房间的。但‘仿佛，最后一次’是我觉得最个人、最动人、最使人沉醉的‘表演’，犹如幻术。”—泰伦斯•伊顿

关于艺术家组织circumstance

ABOUT THE EVENT

Flashmob has been here and there for quite a while. But do you have any idea about ‘subtlemob’? It is a never-rehearsed performance taking place quietly in public area.

It is a mysterious show for encounter with strangers and exploration of the city. It is a theatre you can participate in and experience.

In an early-autumn day of nostalgic Nanjing, here comes the quite performance of subtlemob. Within this show, you are the audience and the performer at the same time. You are invited to be on the centre stage of ‘As If It Were the Last Time’, a subtlemob.

Modern devices and apps seem to make communication today super-convenient. But perhaps they have also made you feel unrealistic and more distanced from people. While listening to the in-ear stories specially made by the directors, you will find neon lights on the street illuminating the stage for you.

If there is someone you become distant with, someone on your mind, someone you want to hold hands with, someone you want to watch a film with…That is the one you should invite now to join you for ‘As If It Were the Last Time’.

Click the link and register for the event! You’ll receive more details and instructions through email. On the day, you need to play the audio files in your own MP3 player. By listening to the narratives and following the instructions, you will become one of the characters in this play. Boundary of acting and observing vanishes in the 30-minute show. You are a cool-headed observer at one moment, and become an active character at the next. Being part of the story, you will be able to look at and interact with the world from a completely new and different angle.

‘Capricious and profound, the experience definitely captures what it is to escape from the world for a little bit, then return and find that you see things just a bit differently.’ –The Londonist

‘It was one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever had in London. I’ve seen performances in lots of London theatres, some big, some in the back room of pubs, but ‘As If It Were The Last Time’ was the most personal, moving and bewitching ‘show’ I’ve witnessed. Truly magical.’ –Terence Eden
