Review for Fermenting: Listen by Eleanor Jackson.
“ This festival has been dramatically set against the unfolding drama of COVID-19, a contrast that has not always favourably depicted Australian’s feeling towards Asia and Asians, or the robustness of Australian health literacy. Set against that background, Fermenting: Listen, with all its (incredibly gentle, consensual and nuanced) closeness, tactility and impermanence served as a poignant memento mori: our trillions of bacteria may be keeping us company right now, but eventually the divide between what is us and what is them will dissolve.“

With some participatory works – the good ones, that is – it feels rude as a reviewer to spoil the experience for future participants with an overly descriptive examination of a performance. Too much itemisation robs future audiences of the opportunity for natural feeling. Fermenting: Listen, pre...

劇場第二週，土終於來啦！

在空間裡鋪上一層層的防護和布料，熟悉的感覺彷彿回到北投的排練室裡。攤開從台灣扛來的防水布，在澳洲的土地上看來格外親切。

進了劇場後，總是有許多測試、實驗、失敗、修正、摸索。經過一整天的勞動，空間又更接近作品所需要的模樣了。

Soil Day.

With layers of protection and fabrics, the Tea Rooms are starting to feel like our old rehearsal space in Taiwan. Even our old little piece of canvas looks a bit more lovely under Australian light.

Some trials and mistakes so far, but with every problem we fix, we're getting closer to building a home for our work.

感謝卡索曼店家的愛心，繼四處採果的（偽）青少年們，我們這次當了一回四處張貼海報的打工仔。

Did you spot our posters around town? We've had another day of knocking on doors and trying our luck. Thanks to the awesome people in Castlemaine, we've been able to put up our posters at all the cool places! Shout out to

感謝卡索曼居民熱情的贊助，今天劇組人員掃過加油站、居民後花園和路邊的果樹。完全大豐收。

We've been collecting fruits all around Castlemaine today. Near gas stations. In people's backyards. By the roads. Come see the performance to see what we'll make of them.

2020年的第一天 。

跨了年，意味著遠聚離也三歲了。去年，團員周辰翰、魏珍創作的《百鬼夜話》與團長劉純良的作品《發酵中：傾聽》分別在臺北藝穗節和臺北藝術節共想吧與大家見面，新的一年也由衷期待能夠迎來更多機會與挑戰。

2019年過去了，感謝所有參與製作的工作夥伴、支持我們的家人朋友以及來看演出的觀眾們。感謝你們的激勵、包容和回饋，我們才能在創作這條路上繼續走下去。

未來的一年裡，遠聚離也會更加努力，與手邊的作品相處，與新的計畫培養感情。團員們各自也有令人期待的企劃與研究，希望大家願意繼續陪伴我們的成長。

眼前第一個挑戰便是三月的澳洲遠征！團長的《發酵中：傾聽》將在AsiaT**A藝術節演出，接下來也會繼續實驗及研究，希望能將經過更長時間「發酵」的作品帶去澳洲。
