Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com
Quiet, quiet, there was no sound in the entire Almeida Theater, and even the sound of breathing seemed to have completely disappeared; but hidden under this silence, there was a surging surging and excitement, and deep eyes showed The mixed emotions, like eddies and undercurrents under the water, are colliding violently.
The long performance, which started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, went through a three-hour first half, a two-and-a-half-hour break, and a nearly three-hour second half. It was like a marathon, a magnificent and vast world. , slowly unfolded in front of the eyes, and the mighty picture scroll stretched continuously, as if he had also experienced a long life.
Witnessed the pure love of Marius and Cosette, Witnessed the death of Éponne, Witnessed the insatiable greed of the Thenardiers, Witnessed the passion of Enjolras, Witnessed the sullen death of Javert, Witnessed All beings under the background of the times have witnessed a period of time, a period of life and a period of history.
Three hours plus three hours, like a century, the audience also followed Jean Valjean through a lifetime.
Did we change the world, or did the world change us?
In the six-hour video, I slowly outlined the outline of a world, and then watched helplessly as the whole world turned upside down, vicissitudes and vicissitudes, and countless blood flowed, pushing the wheel of history one after another. The withered youth, the lost lives, the repenting souls, the grief and hardship of fate, the torrent and turbulence of the times, all rushed to the face, making all language lose its color.
This is a torment and a test; but, this is life. The real world, six hours away, is crueler and crueler. The drama is like life, life is like a drama, but on that mere stage, we have witnessed joys and sorrows, life, old age, sickness and death, all a condensed world, but magnificent and majestic.
So, people were silent; then, people boiled.
The reason why "Les Miserables" is great and classic is because of Jean Valjean's tragic hero image, and more because of the shock of the torrent of the whole era. The Queen's Theatre version strips the latter and focuses on the former, creating a classic repertoire that is enduring; the Almeida Theatre's version weakens the former and strengthens the latter, truly interpreting the essence of the times and history .
It's not just a play.
Looking at the front right of the stage, Jean Valjean, who was old and declining, was dying, lonely, and exhausted. He lay quietly on the rocking chair like this, with thin arms and thin cheeks, weathered; there was a trace of pain and struggle on his gentle face, as if he was enduring endless torture, but no sound came out.
Unable to restrain, Marc Lacante was already in tears.
This old man, this old man who had lived through a long life, he used his wings to protect Cosette, and spent his whole life keeping Fantine's promise; he used his life to protect Marius, just to protect Cosette special love; he moved Javert with his own mind, proving that people who make mistakes can really wake up.
However, at the end of his life, he ended up alone.
Because he chose to be frank, he frankly admitted his past, his life experience, and the fact of his crime, but he was treated coldly by Marius, and even Cosette misunderstood him and left him. For many years, he sacrificed himself to save others, but in the end he was alone. The sad Jean Valjean became depressed, and only loneliness accompanied him.
He was not even able to attend the wedding of Marius and Cosette. Is this fate, or redemption?
He used to be a sinner and spent his whole life atonement. At the end of his life, he was still waiting for his forgiveness and forgiveness. In the torrent of the times, he is just a trivial ant, struggling to survive, forced to follow history forward, but at the end of his life, he lost his direction.
"...Lord on high, listen to my prayers, take me away, by your grace; wherever you are, let me follow, take me away, take me there, take me home. Take me back Family."
The melody of "Take him home" sounded again, only this time, instead of taking Marius, it was Jean Valjean's last day. Jean Valjean's pious eyes and haggard countenance sang softly. Suddenly, the tears fell, and Mark wiped his face in embarrassment, but the tears were still uncontrollable and fell again.
It's no shame. Because this is not a movie theater, but a theater. There is no screen barrier. The stage communicates with the audience face-to-face. All emotions, all feelings and all energies are directly and directly detonated. The shock from the soul and the baptism from the soul are coming. vent down.
Here, happiness and sadness, joy and pain, smiles and tears, all coexist. So I laughed; so I cried. This couldn't be more normal. There is no need to be ashamed or embarrassed. Mark is not alone.
On the stage, Jean Valjean's earnest and mournful hope, his slightly trembling voice revealed a trace of forbearance, after six hours of accumulation of emotions, he slammed into his chest fiercely and heavily, and released little by little. . Not only Mark, but even Alistair was full of emotion at this time.
A beam of light fell on Renly's body alone, covering the thin and dry figure, and the wide burqa almost slipped down, outlining the sick body under the clothes; it seemed that there was no movement, only relying on singing and However, in the huge stage and the huge theater, the expressions are accurately, profoundly and clearly conveyed to every audience.
After the amazing first half, Renly's performance was even more comfortable in the second half. Every time he appeared, he gave top-notch performances and easily attracted the attention of the audience. Even if the John Cod version of the story weakened the role of Jean Valjean, Renly was still a well-deserved absolute. Shine bright!
At this time, Renly's face was full of vicissitudes, and he could hardly recognize it. The old sick face, even the light in his eyes had disappeared; however, the emotional power between his gestures and gestures still hit every the heart of a viewer. The phrase "Take me home" filled people with tears, and the painful and tormented gasps were heartbreaking.
At this moment, Alistair temporarily put all distractions aside, just quietly enjoying Renly's performance, enjoying the moving moment.
A spotlight on the left side of the stage came on, and the long-lost Fantine reappeared. In that hazy halo, Fantine in a long white dress looked beautiful, but there was no sense of reality at all. This was a hallucination of Jean Valjean. As he was dying, he saw Fantine who came to greet him, and he knew that it was time. All suffering, all suffering, all torment, will end.
On the large stage, Fantine is on the left and Jean Valjean is on the right. The empty center is dark, only a faint halo spreads, as if the distance between heaven and earth. Step by step, Fantine was approaching Jean-Valjean, watching the distance shrink a little bit, and the emotions of grief and pain surged, and when they heard the whispers from Jean-Valjean's mouth, all the lines of defense. Completely collapsed.
Cosette. He says.
When his life was about to die, Jean Valjean still remembered the only bond in the world, Cosette; but they were not around.
"Dad, Daddy." A flame burst into the darkness, disturbing all the airflow, Cosette's figure stumbled towards him, and he saw Marius closely behind him in the distance.
Here they come.
It was only today that Marius learned that Jean Valjean was the savior he had been looking for; and Cosette also learned that she had misunderstood her father. They rushed to look for Jean Valjean at the first time, but only saw an old man who was dying. Anguish and remorse, both Marius and Cosette broke down and burst into tears.
They kneeled reverently before Jean Valjean's feet, repented of their wrongs, and called to their father, expecting his recovery.
However, Jean Valjean didn't care anymore, the smile at the corner of his mouth rose gently and gently, his right hand was raised with great difficulty, and slowly placed it on Marius' handsome face, "Since you It's all here..."
A simple sentence seemed to have consumed all his physical strength. He gasped for breath and exhorted, "Stay by my side again." Then, he raised Marius' right hand, overlapping He placed it on Cosette's left hand and patted it gently, "I can finally die peacefully because my life has been blessed by the Lord."
The slightly upward arc of the corners of the mouth outlines a touch of contentment, but it is so weak that it seems that it may disappear completely at any time.
Cosette grabbed Jean Valjean's hand firmly, and said urgently, "You will live, papa. You will live." But her voice began to tremble slightly, revealing a hint of weeping, and she Kneeling on the ground reverently, praying sincerely, "It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye."
Cosette showed a bright smile, but the tears in her eyes reflected a halo, panic and fear, anxiety and sadness, gradually overflowing; Marius, who was kneeling beside him, hugged Cosette tightly. Special, supported her body with her shoulders, but this was not an easy task.
Jean Valjean tried to raise his left hand, but only slightly, then let it down weakly. This action caused Cosette to collapse in an instant. She grabbed Jean Valjean's left hand with both hands, and then covered it on her cheek, rubbing it gently, trying to keep the warmth in her palm. , However, Jean Valjean's palm is losing strength, like a kite that goes with the wind, is breaking free.
The tighter you hold, the faster you fly.
Alistair's eyes lit up again: wonderful, really wonderful, not just Renly, but Charlotte Kennedy as Cosette, even Joe Alwyn as Marius. In this scene, the emotional transformation between the three characters is very full and surging. Now, under their interpretation, it is fully displayed, which makes Alistair start to get excited.
nice. So lovely.
