Chapter 940

Quiet, a quiet, the entire Almeida theater interior does not have the slightest sound, as if even the breathing sound has completely disappeared; But hidden in this quiet, it is surging and excited. The mixed emotions in the eyes, like the whirlpool and undercurrent under the water, are colliding fiercely.

The long performance, starting from 3pm, has experienced three hours of the first half, two and a half hours of rest, and nearly three hours of the second half. It's like a marathon. The magnificent and vast world is slowly unfolding in front of us. The magnificent picture stretches continuously, as if we have experienced a long life.

It has witnessed the pure love between Marius and Cosette, the death of eponine, the greed of Thenardier and his wife, the blood boiling of Enjolras, the depression of Javert, all living beings under the background of the times, a period of years, a period of life and a period of history.

Three hours plus three hours, like a century, the audience followed Jean Valjean through his life.

Do we change the world, or does the world change us?

Six hours of video, slowly outline the outline of a world, and then watch the whole world turn upside down, the vicissitudes of life, the flow of countless blood, continue to push the wheel of history. The withered youth, the lost life, the repentant soul, the sorrow and hardship of fate, the torrent and turbulence of the times, all the languages lose their color.

It's a torment and a test; But this is life. In the real world, six hours away, it's more cruel, it's more cruel. Drama is like life, and life is like drama. On the stage, there are joys and sorrows, birth, old age, illness and death. All the concentrated world is magnificent and magnificent.

So people are silent; So, people are boiling.

The greatness and classic of "tragic world" lies in Jean Valjean's tragic hero image and the shock of the whole era. The version of the Queen's Theatre has stripped off the latter and focused on the former, creating a classic repertoire which is enduring; The version of Almeida theatre weakens the former, strengthens the latter, and truly interprets the essence of the times and history.

It's not just a play.

Looking at the right front of the stage, Jean Valjean, who is old and declining, is old and lonely. So he lay quietly in the rocking chair, his thin arms and thin cheeks, weather beaten; Gentle face with a trace of pain and struggle, seems to be enduring endless torture, but no sound.

Uncontrollably, mark lacante was already in tears.

The old man, who had experienced a long life, took care of Cosette with his wings and kept Fantine's promise all his life; He protected Marius with his own life, just to protect Cosette's love; He moved Javert with his own mind, proving that people who make mistakes can really wake up.

However, at the end of his life, he came to a lonely end.

Because he chose to be frank. He frankly admitted his past and life experience, as well as the fact of crime, but he was treated coldly by Marius. Even Cosette misunderstood him and left him. For many years, he sacrificed himself to save others, but he was only alone after all. Jean Valjean, who was sad, became depressed and became ill. Only loneliness accompanied him.

Even Marius and Cosette's wedding, he was not able to attend. Is it fate or atonement?

He used to be a sinner. He spent his whole life to atone. At the end of his life, he was still waiting for his forgiveness. In the torrent of the times, he is just a tiny mole ant, trying to survive, forced to follow history forward, but in the dying of life, lost direction.

"Listen to my prayer, Lord, and take me with you; No matter where you are, let me follow, take me away, take me there, take me home. Take me home. "

The melody of "take him home" sounded again, but this time it was not Marius, but Jean Valjean's day. Jean Valjean's devout eyes and haggard face, gasping and dying, sang softly. Suddenly, the tears fell. Mark wiped his face in embarrassment, but the tears could not be controlled and fell again.

It's not a shame. Because, this is not a cinema, but a theater. There is no screen barrier. The stage communicates with the audience face to face. All emotions, all feelings and all energy are directly detonated. The shock from the heart and the baptism from the soul come to the face and vent.

Here, happiness and sadness, joy and pain, smile and tears, all coexist. So he laughed; So he cried. It's perfectly normal. There is no need to be ashamed or embarrassed. Mark is not alone.

On the stage, Jean Valjean's sincere and sorrowful hope, slightly trembling voice, revealed a trace of forbearance. After six hours of emotional accumulation, he hit his chest hard and heavily, and released it bit by bit. Not only mark, but also Alistair was full of emotion.

A beam of light, scattered on Lan Li's body, shrouded his thin and dry body. The broad robe was about to slip down, outlining the body under his clothes; It seems that there is no movement, just relying on the voice and expression, but in the huge stage and theater, it is accurately, profoundly and clearly conveyed to every audience.

After the first half's surprise, in the second half, lanli's performance was even more comfortable. Every time he appeared on the stage, he gave a top performance, which easily affected the attention of the audience. Even if the story of John coed weakened Jean Valjean's role, let Langley still be the absolutely shining spot of the audience!

At this time, Lan Li's face was full of vicissitudes. He could hardly recognize his old face. Even the light in his eyes had disappeared; However, the emotional force between the action, but still hit every audience's heart. A "take me home", let a person full of tears, the pain and suffering of breathing, heartbreaking.

At this moment, Alistair temporarily put aside all his thoughts, just quietly enjoying the performance of Langley and enjoying the moving moment.

A spotlight on the left side of the stage lights up, and Fantine, who has been gone for a long time, appears again. In the hazy halo, Fantine in a white dress looks beautiful, but has no sense of reality. This is Jean Valjean's illusion. On his deathbed, he saw Fantine coming to meet him. He knew that it was time. All suffering, all suffering, all suffering will come to an end.

The spacious stage, Fantine on the left, Jean Valjean on the right, the empty center, a dark, only a faint halo in the spread, as if the distance between heaven and earth. Step by step, Fantine was approaching Jean Valjean, watching the distance shorten a little, and the sadness and pain surged to her. When she heard Jean Valjean's whispers, all the lines of defense collapsed completely.

Cosette. He said.

At the moment when life was about to disappear, Jean Valjean still remembered Cosette, the only fetter in the world; However, they are not around.

"Dad, Dad." A flame burst into the darkness and disturbed all the air currents. Cosette's figure stumbled forward and then saw Marius from a distance.

Here they are.

Until today, Marius learned that Jean Valjean was the Savior he had been looking for; Cosette knew that she had misunderstood her father. The first time they came to look for Jean Valjean, they only saw an old man in danger. Both Marius and Cosette broke down with remorse and tears.

They knelt down devoutly before Jean Valjean's feet, repenting of their faults, calling for their father, expecting him to recover again.

However, Jean Valjean did not care any more. The smile on the corner of his mouth rose gently, and his right hand rose with great difficulty. He slowly put it on Marius' handsome face. "Since you are all here..."

In a simple word, it seems to have consumed all his physical strength, gasping for breath, exhorting, "wait by my side again." Then he raised Marius' right hand and put it on Cosette's left hand, patting it gently. "I can finally die peacefully, for my life has been blessed by the Lord."

The slight upward curve of the corner of the mouth outlines a touch of satisfaction, but it is so weak that it seems that it may disappear completely at any time.

Cosette seized Jean Valjean's hand firmly and said eagerly, "you will live, father. You will survive. " But her voice began to tremble slightly, revealing a trace of crying. She knelt devoutly on the ground and prayed sincerely, "it's too soon, too soon to say goodbye."

Cosette showed a brilliant smile, but the tears in her eyes reflected the halo, confusion and fear, uneasiness and sadness, which gradually overflowed; Marius, kneeling beside her, hugged Cosette tightly and supported her body with her own shoulders, but it was not easy.

Jean Valjean tried to raise his left hand, but only slightly, and then relented feebly. In an instant, Cosette collapsed. She grasped Jean Valjean's left hand with her hands, and then covered her cheek. She rubbed it gently, trying to keep the warmth of her palm. However, Jean Valjean's palm was losing its strength, and the kite, which imitated Buddha and went with the wind, was getting rid of the shackles.

The tighter you hold, the faster you fly.

Alistair's eyes brightened again: wonderful, really wonderful, not only Langley, but also Charlotte Kennedy as Cosette, and even Joe Alvin as Marius. In this play, the mood changes among the three characters are full and surging. Now, under their interpretation, they are fully displayed, which makes aristell excited.

good-looking. It's beautiful.
