One Minute World Arts- True or False- When Theater Meets Reality Show 虛實之間：當劇場遇上實境節目

In modern days’ entertainment industry, boundaries between #reality and #fiction have been blurred. Reality shows and theaters are using different ways to create a whole new experience for both the participants and the audiences. “The Kill One Race” is a game show where dance theater and reality show come together to create a dystopian world. It has the audience question whether they are witnessing a real social experiment or watching a fictional story like The Hunger Game. The collision between theater and other media has challenged the idea of where the audiences can place themselves while engaging in the show.

在現今的娛樂產業裡，#真實 與 #虛構 的界線已經逐漸變得模糊；＃實境節目 與 ＃劇場 皆以不同的方式，帶給參與者和觀眾們全新體驗。實境節目The Kill One Race 由演員扮演故事的「角色」，這些「角色」在一週內卻會經歷真實挑戰，並透過口語和肢體表達，檢視彼此的倫理道德觀；其呈現方式讓觀眾難以分辨，自己所看到的究竟是真實的社會實驗，還是像電影《飢餓遊戲》那般虛構的故事。換言之，劇場與他類媒體間的碰撞，在在挑戰了觀眾於欣賞演出時的自我定位，及其觀看的角度。
