大衛・艾夫斯，美國知名劇作家、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」。David Ives’ one-act plays bring out the charming and sometimes absurd qualities in life that we seldom examine ourselves. These hilarious heart-filled journeys contemplate the themes of love, inspiration, and the strangeness of people.

"Ives’ shorts will put a smile on your face" - Taipei Times review HERE
"LAB Space presents Ives' clever,
captivating shorts" - China Post review HERE
The LAB
Space’s production of Ives’ will include:
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 artist's 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。
"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.

tickets today!
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。
