舞台剧「鱼香酱汁」
地方性遗产


为什么照片中的女人要将水壶及锅子顶在头上
?她正在参与舞台剧「鱼香酱汁」的演出。

不,这不是一只填满火鸡肉汁的大天鹅!Swamp Gravy: The Gospel Truth (鱼香酱汁:福音真理) 是一出舞台剧,它是一出述说发生在一般人身上的真实事件的戏剧,惯用喜剧、戏剧或甚至是音乐剧的类型来表现,而故事内容则来自于录影带中的采访内容,作家会将这些内容编改成一出戏;每年,这出戏都会用新故事 来重新编排,故事的内容,大多和生命、死亡、家庭及社区有关。

这出舞台剧是由100多位自愿者 (包括演员及幕后制作人员) 所组成并让这些故事重新展现在人们的眼前;因为它的专业质量,所以乔治亚州议会 (Georgia General Assembly) 将其称为「乔治亚的官方民俗生活剧」。

除了在棉花大厅Cotton Hall (位于乔治亚康杰迪Colquitt的一间已经被重新翻修过的棉花仓库)演出外,舞台剧「鱼香酱汁」也被选至华盛顿特区的甘乃迪中心 (Kennedy Center) 进行表演;它的演出深深的打动了台下的观众,所以该戏的演员再次受邀回到华盛顿特区;下一次,当舞台剧「鱼香酱汁」再次上演时,它将带着全新的乔治亚生活故事回来。


Why does the woman in the photo have pots and pans balancing on her head? She's performing in Swamp Gravy.

No, it's not a big swamp filled with your mother's turkey gravy! Swamp Gravy: The Gospel Truth is a play. Swamp Gravy tells real-life stories of everyday people in the form of comedies, dramas and even musicals. The stories come from taped interviews, which a writer then adapts into a play. Each year there is a new version of the play with new stories. The stories are about life and death, family, and community.

More than 100 volunteers -- actors and production crew -- produce this play and bring these stories to life. It is of such professional quality that the Georgia General Assembly has called it the "Official Folk Life Play of Georgia."

In addition to performing at the Cotton Hall (a renovated cotton warehouse in Colquitt, Georgia), Swamp Gravy was selected to be performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The crowd was so moved by the performance that the cast was invited to return. Next time Swamp Gravy will have new stories of Georgia life.
