《Ives’ Shorts大衛・艾夫斯 短酷Show》
Is a collection of David
Ives’ one-act plays that bring out the exciting, charming, and sometimes absurd
qualities in life that we seldom examine ourselves. His heart filled journeys
are delivered with a fast pace and contemplate the themes of love, inspiration,
and the strangeness of people.
大衛・艾夫斯，美國知名劇作家、作家，擅於短篇喜劇、用戲劇來詮釋生活中的歡樂、迷惑，和荒謬的特質；其作品有著獨特節奏和幽默感，主題經常環繞著愛情、人的靈感、哲學性的思想實驗，和人性的「怪」。
The
LAB Space’s production of Ives’ will include:
2016年第一季，蝴蝶效應將於實演場詮釋六齣大衛・艾夫斯的劇目，包括：
"Sure Thing" is
a classic of contemporary comedy: Two people meet in a cafe and find their way
through a conversational minefield as an offstage
bell interrupts their false starts, gaffes, and falling in love. 這齣戲教你如何在十分鐘內把到咖啡廳裡的文青妹！
"Degas
C’est Moi" a Man
wakes up one morning and decides to be the french artist Degas. The best place
to do is in New Year City where he encounters all that males great art.艾德，一位失業的普通人做了一個非常不尋常的決定，他決定要當
Degas，一位已經去世的知名畫家。
"The
Philadelphia" presents
a young man in a restaurant who has fallen into "a Philadelphia" a Twilight Zone- like state
in which he cannot get anything he asks for. His only way out of the dilemma?
To ask for the opposites of what he wants.一個年輕人掉入 "費城"
的時空中，在 "費城" 的世界裡他總是要不到他想要的東西，在這樣的世界裡他到底要如何存活下去呢？
"Variations
on the Death of Trotsky" shows us
the Russian revolutionary on the day of his demise, desperately trying to cope
with mountain-climber's axe he's discovered in his head. 托洛茨基 之死眾說紛紜，傳說足足有八種不同的死法，讓我們來看看這位 俄羅斯 革命之父到底最後是怎麼死的？
"The
Universal Language" brings
together Dawn, a young woman with a stutter, and Don, the creator and teacher
of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Their lesson sends them off into a dazzling
display of hysterical verbal pyrotechnics －and, of course, true love.你想不想學一個可以讓你跟全世界溝通的語言？那就學「溫那蒙達」吧！
"Words,
Words, Words" recalls
the philosophical adage that three monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or
later produce Hamlet and asks:
What would monkeys talk about at their typewriters?西方哲學家說過：「給三隻黑猩猩三檯打字機的話，他們總有一天可以寫出『哈姆雷特』」。讓我們來親自實驗看看吧！
Be prepared to see
dead historical figures, chimpanzees on typewriters, and extreme cases of
waking-up-on-the-wrong, or right, side-of-the-bed-syndrome.

各位觀眾準備好了嗎！我們有許多歷史人物、得了妄想症的藝術家，就連黑猩猩和打字機也來軋一角，裏頭充滿許多笑點。
Reviews劇評
"Like
sketches for some hilarious, celestially conceived revue. The writing is not
only very funny, it has density of thought and precision of poetry...All IN THE
TIMEING is by a master of fun. David Ives spins hilarity out words." －The
New York Times
"Theatre
that aerobicizes the brain and tickles the heart. Ives is a mordant comic who
has put the play back in playwright...A wondrous wordmaster."
－Time Magazine
"
An original turn of mind is to be saluted in our tired theatre ... A playwright
with ideas, his own ideas, in his head is relatively rare. Such one is David
Ives.
－New
York Magazine
＂未加修飾的爆笑，天造地設的滑稽喜劇，文字不僅逗趣，並帶有深度的想法和詩意，恰到好處的喜劇大師，大衛・艾夫斯用文字顛覆笑料。＂
－紐約時報
"他的作品能刺激思考，同時撩撥人心。艾夫斯的劇本充滿了犀利的幽默感，是位了不起的文字大師。"
－時代雜誌
＂在一成不變的戲劇中向原創的想法致敬......有思想同時俱有原創性的劇作家並不常見，大衛・艾夫斯便是其一。＂
－紐約雜誌
