MARY 李／瑪麗 LI
這一刻我好像才明白了，
不是霧靄，不是轉譯間的遺漏，不是不夠清亮的發聲，也不是陌生的臉孔，
是我們清醒地活在各自不見天日卻敞亮舒適的夢裡……
終其一生，恐懼著，
永恆地徒步在不能歸根的故土，
在生命的盡頭，化成不能留下一點痕跡的塵埃。- MARY 李／瑪麗 LI
蓺術遊牧團長黃至嘉2024年經艋舺舞蹈節國際交流單元獲選至英國倫敦藝術機構The Place進行移地創作，延續「以建築／空間／城市／環境為創作核心」的概念，由倫敦當地環境獲得靈感，著眼於當代全球化的發展中無處不在的「移民」及其身體、語言、文化與他們周遭的環境如何連結、交流，開啟 MARY 李／瑪麗 LI 創作計畫。以外來者(移民)的身分，無根基可於本地溯源的身體，建立角色MARY李(瑪麗 LI)，於其個體生命盡頭為起點，開啟群體對於身體與文化根源的探問。以生命終結為起始，肉體做為生命的表層及其乘載與所處環境相互映照的多元文化，包括外觀、語言…等等，因死亡而衰敗、崩解的過程中，往純粹的生命根源探尋，尋找此身真實的樣貌。當代社會中，我們無一避免都是移民，承襲著基因血脈中，跋山涉海的遷徙，得到的、留下的、失去的，至今身處更外顯的多元文化社會中，隨環境改變的同時改變著環境，仍帶著期望，期望著可以回到真正的根源，真正的歸屬之地。MARY 李／瑪麗 LI 嘗試打破可感知的時間與空間，開啟更廣闊的尋找與探問，以終點為起始，為歸途，為啟程未知的探尋，向身死後的那片無垠提問開闢回家的路。
此外，本作品同時實驗運用「聲音」做為主要的概念元素與敘事脈絡之一。順應創作過程中關於「移民」、「多元文化」與「文化根基」主題的延伸探究與發展，特別邀請3位當代即興音樂家加入本作品。2026年艋舺國際舞蹈節國際交流單元將呈現與即興音樂家：笛樂-林小楓合作的版本。笛樂是世界各地許多不同民族的傳統樂器，個別於不同自然及文化環境中演變發展，不同的笛子發出帶著各自獨特性格的聲音，猶如不同的語言創造出各自獨特的曲調，此版本特別選用臺灣原住民-排灣族特有的雙管鼻笛、國樂大笛、蕭、日本能管及土耳其的Sipsi蘆笛與作品共鳴。不同樂器其蘊含的文化脈絡，及各自獨特的樂音特質，對應本作品的主題，與表演者的身體(也視為一種樂器)、舞蹈(視為一種聲音／音樂)，於即興表演的對話中，相互提問、回應或共創出新的觀點、新的視野。
MARY 李／瑪麗 LI 自2025年在不同空間完成兩次階段性呈現後，於2026年3月在國家兩廳院實驗劇場，各別與3位即興音樂家合作，完成3場不同版本的完整作品演出。

I probably understood something at the moment.
It may not be the mist or thick fog, not the missing part in between translations, not the poor pronunciation, nor the alien faces or skin tone.
But each of us lives in our own dream, which might be comfortable and bright, yet without sunlight…
And perhaps we’ve all lived with eternal fears, wandered on the native land that we will never be able to return to, yet turned into vanishing ashes that leave nothing but void at the end of life. – MARY 李／瑪麗 LI
In the autumn of 2024, the founder of Nomadic ARTS Collective, director/choreographer HUANG Chih-Chia, participated in a residency program at The Place in London, UK. Drawing inspiration from the local environment and the ubiquitous phenomenon of “migration” within contemporary globalization, she started to explore how migrants' bodies, languages, cultures, and surrounding environments connect and interact within the dynamic modern society, where cultural contexts intertwine and rapidly shift. Integrating her creative concepts, the Dance/Physical Theatre project MARY 李／瑪麗 LI was launched and continues developing after returning to Taiwan.
After two sections of work-in-progress presentations in different spaces in 2025, the completed version of MARY 李／瑪麗 LI, collaboratively created with three musicians, premiered in mid-March 2026 at the Experimental Theatre of the National Theatre & Concert Hall.

Being emotional and sensitive as a dancer and actress, she explores through body and dance movements, while also being rational in constructing narratives as a director and choreographer. Drawing on all her previous working experience in theater, dance, film, and performance art, Chih-Chia has been continuously experimenting with the structure and format of her performing arts work. She discovers specific architecture, spaces, and environments, seeing them as the original main theme, and creates imaginary characters, dance, movements, and narratives that echo the characteristics, history, and atmosphere of these spaces. She then constructs these elements into different forms that can be presented via various media.
