​曾文通靜觀劇場
Theatrical Meditation Production by
Tsang Man-tung

  《八步瑜伽 Ashtanga》

《八步瑜伽》是曾文通繼《心寂無聲》、《觀自在》、《入靜山林》和《黑天幻日》後創作的第五部靜觀劇場作品。《八步瑜伽》的靈感來自瑜伽哲學經典 — 《瑜伽經》，邀請觀眾一起通過「靜」和「觀」，在劇場裡經歷一趟回歸心的旅程。

 

《瑜伽經》成書於約2500年前，是瑜伽哲學的綱要，亦是修習瑜伽的支柱。
「現在就是瑜伽」是《瑜伽經》中的精髓，通過瑜伽去了悟生命。《瑜伽經》的八個修煉次第：持戒 (Yama) — 精進 (Niyama)— 體位 (Asana) — 調息 (Pranayama) — 制感 (Pratyahara) — 專注 (Dharana) — 禪那 (Dhyana) — 三摩地 (Samadhi) 。隨著修煉時日遞進，由具象到抽象，形而下到形而上，明白一切本來就是合一。
 

 

頌缽 x 瑜伽 x 音樂 x 舞蹈

 

「瑜伽仿自然，隨自然，心自在

   頌缽根在地，聲縈迴，意在聽」—— 曾文通

 

整個旅程分為八個段落，以頌缽獨有的音頻貫穿。糅合傳統瑜伽式子和舞蹈，肢體動作仿如大自然中的律動，展現亦動亦靜的修煉過程。現場音樂以頌缽、長笛、鼓樂和梵唱交織，回應經典，與生命的節奏共鳴。觀者感知當下的舞台意象同時內觀心象，深入瑜伽哲學的意境，瞥見瑜伽之道。

 

每場演出長約80分鐘，不設中場休息。觀眾務請準時入場，遲到及中途離座者須待適當時候方可進場。

Ashtanga, the latest production under the theatrical meditation series by Tsang Man-tung, is a meditation journey exploring the wisdom of The Yoga Sutras. Through stillness and awareness, we go deep into our heart, and return to the pure state of meditative consciousness. The invitation is for all to come and experience this path of the Self.

 

The Yoga Sutras outline the essence of Yoga and have long been recognised as the foundation for all yogis. The first sutra Chitta vritti nirodha (often translated as “And now Yoga”) has said it all – the experience of union begins now. Inspired by the "Eight Limbs of Yoga" in The Yoga Sutras, Ashtanga will take the audience onto an inner journey through the eight essential steps of yoga practices: Yama (Moral Precepts) – Niyama (Personal Observances) – Asana (Postures) – Pranayama (Control of Life Force) – Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the Senses) – Dharana (Concentration) – Dhyana (Meditation) – Samadhi (Absorption). From body to mind, from the gross to the subtle, the practice leads the way back to oneness. 

 

Singing Bowl  x  Yoga  x  Music  x  Dance

 

“Yoga, inspired by nature, returns to its true nature;

Singing bowls ground the mind through the sound.” —- Tsang Man-tung

 

The journey of theatrical meditation, following the sequence of the eight limbs of Yoga, presents an abundance of sensations. Dance with touches of traditional yoga asanas flows with the rhythm of nature. Live performance of singing bowls, flutes, drums and chanting are weaved into a unique grounding experience. We hope the audience can connect with oneself through the harmonious rhythm, find the path of inner peace and bring home a sense of tranquillity. Let’s take this initial step on the path of union! 

 

Ashtanga is the fifth theatrical meditation by Tsang Man-tung following The Light of Metempsychosis, The Heart Sutra, Vipassana-Silent Walk and Silence in the Woods.

 

Running time of this non-verbal performance is approximately 80 minutes without intermission.  Audience is strongly advised to arrive punctually. Latecomers and audience members who leave during the performance will only be admitted at a suitable break.
