「哪裡有弱者,哪裏就有謊言。」——羅生門

許多人可能只知《羅生門》是謝安琪和麥浚龍的歌,或只知「羅生門」是代表各說各話的名詞,而不知它是一九五○年日本大導演黑澤明改編自芥川龍之介小說的經典電影。

資深編劇和導演袁立勳把《羅生門》改編為話劇,在新光戲院上演。《羅生門》敍述武士和妻子在竹林中被強盜攔截並捆綁,其妻被強盜強姦,之後武士又離奇死去。強盜、武士妻、武士的鬼魂,以及目擊事件的樵夫,各有不同版本,在衙門上,強盜承認殺死武士,妻子則稱丈夫是她所殺,武士鬼魂則堅稱自殺,樵夫則言辭閃鑠似有隱瞞。

真相當然存在,只要透過驗屍,便知道武士是強盜長劍所殺、妻子匕首所刺,還是他剖腹自刎。《羅生門》並非推理劇,重點不在找出真相,而在描繪人性為掩飾各自的弱點,謊話連篇。《羅生門》的背景是亂世,人心虛怯,武士妻被強盜強姦,暴露武士和妻子的關係,名譽和貞節不堪一擊,各人都會編造有利自己的說法,遮蔽真相。

袁立勳採用全舞台(total theatre),由梅廣釗創作配樂,樂隊及歌者即場演奏及詠唱,梁國城編舞,舞蹈員既扮演野獸,又扮演演員的叠影,更有日本武士道演出,令演出具有豐富的層次。一切力求完美,不惜工本。

舞台設計及演員則以寫意簡約為主,演員一人分飾多角,麥長青扮演強盜充滿野性,演樵夫時則土氣又閃爍、江美儀演出妻子的愛慾及矛盾、演尼姑的平和仁慈,單立文演出武士的冷傲迂腐、小偷的貪婪無恥。演員輕騎上陣,為了將來巡迴國際做準備。

我看最後一場,全院滿座。希望有機會重演。
