Severing, Fracturing, Uniting, Pulverizing, Policing
切割、破裂、凝聚、碾碎、警察
「有些事情從未消失，暴力就是其一。」——韓炳哲，《暴力拓樸學》
我拿著證明他人死亡的證件在訊號不通的異地隧道行走，關於氣體、液體、河流與氣溫的死亡。我的佩槍無法發射，白色橡膠手套用來捧起他人四散的形體或是漂流而過的組織，摔練千萬次讓我的臉浮現了另一個人的雛形。其他人在隧道深處演練戰技、策略、連攻，擬定壓制的暴力氣團。我開始奔跑，肺的邊際冒出火花，我拿出進入隧道前領取的手冊，對後面的自己說，「霧太大了，我晚一點到。」
警察系統透過精確與智慧的方式鍛鍊警員，學習體能、體技、大規模事件演習、柔道、警察法，以期達到國家施行權威與控制、維護秩序的能力。他們的權力包括逮補和使用國家授權的合法化武力。《切割、破裂、凝聚、碾碎、警察》導演李奧森透過匿名警員訪談、側繪(profiling)與警察學文獻進行研究，協同動作設計亞伯特．賈西亞(Albert Garcia)及專業表演者發展高強度的動態情境(movement scenarios)與敘事，並運用視覺藝術家羅智信與燈光藝術家曾睿琁共同建構的詩性空間，建構情況不明、無法掌握的事件；與觀者共同思考警察的內在狀態、勞動情境與難以定義的系統性暴力。
Police violence is now a global phenomenon. Through interviews and by referencing contemporary anthropological literature on policing systems, Val LEE further explores the inherent violence of stability maintenance systems employed by the state by scrutinizing the contradictory condition of individual police officers within the contemporary law enforcement environment. Val LEE creates thematic cohesion through "choreography" -- an approach that also demands bodily obedience, and posits the audience at a perspective internal to the policing system. From physical training to the corporeal effect of violence, to organizational deployment -- performers repetitively enact symbolic movement sequences as “the police” to convey a state of physical detachment under high-pressure.
This work also features collaborations with several artists in stage installation, lighting, and sound design. Political metaphors are conveyed through architectural structures that obstruct sightlines; intense flashing lights in dense fog; high-hanging black banners; and modified alarm signals. As the audience’s perceptions undergo high frequency changes, it creates a sense of extended illusion, allowing the scattered allegories to be reorganized again.
