創作者介紹｜Lahok Nakaw Papiyan 鄭宇均
節目名稱｜《Cipapah（長葉）》
「我是誰？」——20歲時，這個提問開啟了創作者的尋根之旅。自國家兩廳院 Gap Year 計畫展演《Lamit》起，到24歲創作《Cicengo’》，他逐漸確認來處，並以「文化是流動」為創作核心：無論身在何處，只要與族群和文化保持連結，認同便能生長出當代樣貌。
本次呈現的《Cipapah（長葉）》承接前兩齣作品，帶著自我經歷與文化記憶，以新詩為創作手段，結合肢體、行為、影像，構築一場充滿迷幻氛圍的劇場詩篇。影像中反覆出現的「冰箱、桌子、家人」，看似日常，卻是故事的核心與起點。它們映照著家族、阿美族文化與部落的生命經驗，並在時代流轉中不斷滾動、生長，成為作品的主體。
《Cipapah》是一場試探（try out），也是一次將文字化為葉片、在劇場生長的探索。
Artist Introduction｜Lahok Nakaw Papiyan
An Amis (Pangcah) theatre practitioner, Lahok Nakaw Papiyan brings experience in both artistic creation and arts administration. With a strong foundation in writing and a sharp narrative sensibility, Lahok has long explored Indigenous memory and personal experience through poetry and prose. His practice often builds a translational relationship between language and the body, allowing text to extend into action and perception. Lahok’s work focuses on the body, collective memory, and cross-disciplinary experimentation, moving between artistic practice and cultural production while continuing to explore the diverse possibilities of contemporary Indigenous performance.
Program Title ｜Cipapah:Growing Leaves
“Who am I?” — At the age of twenty, this question initiated the artist’s journey of searching for his roots. From presenting Lamit through the National Theater and Concert Hall’s Gap Year Program to creating Cicengo’ at the age of 24, the artist gradually came to understand where he comes from. Through this process, the idea that “culture is fluid” emerged as a core principle of his practice: wherever one may be, as long as one remains connected to their people and culture, identity can continue to grow into contemporary forms.From this realization, a tree-like creative project gradually unfolded:Lamit (rooting), Cicengo’ (sprouting), Cipapah (growing leaves), Hana (blooming), and Heci (bearing fruit). Within this process, writing becomes both a record of emotions, a means of transmission, and a testimony of lived reality.
Cipapah:Growing Leaves continues the development of the first two works. Drawing from personal experiences and cultural memory, the piece employs free verse poetry as a creative method, combining movement, performance actions, and video to construct a theatrical poem filled with a dreamlike atmosphere.Images of a refrigerator, a table, and family members repeatedly appear throughout the work. Though seemingly ordinary, they form the core and starting point of the story. These daily objects reflect family life, Amis (Pangcah) culture, and the lived experiences of the community, continuously rolling and growing through time to become the central subject of the work.
Cipapah:Growing Leaves is both a try-out and an exploration—an attempt to transform words into leaves, allowing them to grow within the space of theatre.
