The Swordfish, Then The Concubine

《劍魚◉妾》故事取材自馬來古典文學作品《馬來紀年》（Sejarah Melayu）。劍魚的襲擊、領土的利益糾葛；服從與忍耐、審判與戰爭——除了包含原有的歷史與神話元素，劇作家紀傳財也融入了當代社會困境、政治博弈的「密語」，故事已不受時空限制，連接了現實與寓言，講述在位者與民間不可分割的命運糾葛

2016 年，平台計劃創團第十年，承接並翻譯The Swordfish, Then the Concubine 劇作文本，中文版《劍魚◉妾》在馬演出。懷著探索本土多元文化、開創表演美學的初心，也因此獲得了巨大的迴響。

人心牽動王朝興衰的敘事，遙遠的神話已歷經蛻變。暌違5 年，導演羅國文再次修訂，平台計劃重製極具口碑的劇作，用偶、面具組成戲劇語言，以馬來傳統民謠《Ulek Mayang》、皮影動畫串合故事，希望再次呈現想像力豐富、屬於馬來西亞人的民間傳奇。

The story of The Swordfish, Then the Concubine is based on that of the classical Malay literature work Sejarah Melayu. Attack by swordfish, feudal obeisance, punishment by impalement and war … the play is full of historical and mythological elements. Playwright Kee Thuan Chye also alludes to contemporary social predicaments, political games and “secret codes”. This story transcends time and space, merges reality and parable, and chronicles the inseparable fate that binds rulers and subjects.

In 2016, ten years since its founding, Pentas Project undertook and translated the text of The Swordfish, Then the Concubine into Mandarin, and premiered the show in Malaysia. For its exploration of local cultural diversity and its showcasing of innovative performance aesthetics, the show garnered positive response.

Over time, however, even a myth of long ago can undergo evolution. Now, five years since its Chinese premiere in Malaysia, the play has been revised by Kee Thuan Chye and director Loh Kok Man has painted his production with fresh colours. Using puppets, masks and animation as part of the language of his theatre, and incorporating traditional elements like the Malay folk song ‘Ulek Mayang’, Pentas Project recreates this renowned play and presents a work of art that is full of imagination and is relevant to all Malaysians.
