About the HOPE Project
So much of the world is very troubled today, but somehow through all this despair, we each find something within to give us hope, something that keeps us going.
Hope was created in collaboration with the 12 performers—gathering their experiences, stories and movement, to create images that give both the sense of hope and also hopelessness that sometimes consumes us. Please join us for this informal work-in-process sharing as we build towards the final production in 2010.

The Making of

Hormones makes Love

Like Wine,
看-观看光感及色泽
闻- 轻轻摇晃，(鼻子探入)细闻出土壤、果香、花香。
尝-(漱口)(包覆整条舌头)碰触到各部分的味蕾，品尝出各种味道。

Quenches my thirst,
老会觉得渴，实际上不缺水

Flows to every corner of my body,
白日依山尽，黄河入海流，流在这里。（流动全身）

Uncontrollable,
失去理智，冲出所谓的道德。

I lose all sense of direction,
北极点上只有一个方向--南方；南极点上也只有一个方向--北方。
而只是绕着纬圈一直转圈圈。

It lifts me up, it tears me down,
It makes me happy, it makes me sad,

Confused, My head is spinning
困惑，男人在箱子里，却受不了诱惑。

I want more, I can’t get enough
不能给你，因为我也要比你更多！

The taste, smell, sight- intoxicating
镇定剂对人身体的好处至少包括使人镇定，镇定，镇定。

Like a puzzle,
it fits perfectly with pieces of me
这是一个需要再三确认的程序

forming a harmonious picture
在实验室外试验实验

I am complete.
完美无瑕……is a Lie!

ANGKAT SUMPAH
BAHAWA Kami berjanji memastikan perjalanan mesyuarat rumah dan Persidangan kampung berjalan dengan lancar dan sempurna.

BAHAWA Kami berjanji akan bertindak menyelesaikan semua masalah yang berkaitan dengan bidang tugas ini dalam masa yang sesingkat mungkin.

看着 Staring

天的蓝，地的黄，
看着无聊的天数在变化，
怎样也赶不上心脏的节奏，
不断的缓慢，还是不停的断续？

发黄的眼白，看回以前的马路，
柏青的味道围绕不散，
口里参透出发臭的气息，已经是生于俱来的密码，
虽然这个秘密不再是讨好的兴趣，
永远自己就和自己在参透，
没完没了的纠缠，
悲惨孤独的修行。

阿荷！阿荷！
你知道你的离去，只剩下我的皱纹和尿水，
我和他们相依为命，轮流排队到来，
是一个公平待遇，
狂想我的精子卵子会扶着我的离去，
游向一个未知的河流，
就有如我来到这里一样。
还是一样的安详？

公转自转的走法，
无法扭转我的死法，
身上的黑斑兴奋地在蔓延，
肌肉的脂肪轻松地在下坠，
就只能看着。
看着。

雨水回天，高潮倒退，
我和它的路途似乎到了末路，
无规律的语言和肢体堵塞我的常规，
我的灵魂已不再我是我的。

身旁的被蚂蚁肢解的壁虎，
瞪大眼睛眼睛看着我，
看着我，等着我？
看见它眼里的讯息，我可怜它，
也更加同情自己，
因为它可以幸福躲藏在它的肠胃，
我在小小的四方盒子里，
无法转身，只能前看，
看着前方，回想后方，
始终我们都是一样。

Color of the sky? BLUE! Color of the land? YELLOW!
Watching the movement and changing of those boring days,
This cycle will never equal to the rhythm of a true beating heart.
Is the beating of our heart is decelerating? Or just like the pulse? On, Off, off, then on again?

The white side of the yellowing eye ball is keep on staring at the constructed road before,
The taste of Asphalt is never forgotten in human lives,
The disgusting smell from our mouth was bonded naturally with us,
& it’s just like the DNA code of us,
Even though hunting for this treasure is not an interest anymore,
Since then, it’s just a self-struggle topic,
The kind of harassment that will never end,
Just like the tragic of a lonely cultivation.
Life journey, Being Isolated; being miserable.

Ah-Hor! Ah-Hor!
You knew after your French leave, just wrinkles and urine are the remainders for me,
I share my life with them, they q-up and arrive orderly in my life,
Everything since then is a ‘Fair Treatment.’
I have irrational attempt in thinking where my sperm and ovum will continue to take me to,
Swim to an unknown river,
Just like the way I arrive here.
Still so peaceful?

No matter revolution or rotation,
Still cannot against the law of death.
My age spots are spreading happily at this second,
Fat in my muscle relaxed the tissue structure of my body,
What I can do is just watching,
Just staring.

Rain drops back to the sky, High tides after the back turning of the clock,
This is seemingly how I have met the end of the journey with It,
Irregular language and body movement are interfering in my ORDER,
My soul, is not belongs to me now.

The lizard that is being dismembered by the ants beside me,
Let its eye wide open and staring at me,
Looking at me? Waiting for me?
Look into the eye, I felt sympathize to the dying lizard,
But I feel more pity for myself,
Because it can hiding itself blissfully in other’s stomach,
I’m in a small square box, cannot turn my body around,
I can just look in front,
Looking in front, thinking back to the rear,
From the very beginning until the end, actually we are all the same.

辉煌 The Peak of the Sacrificial Day

发毛的盛放迎接诱人的气息；
眼前的一物就像百花筒里的灿烂；
口腔里的喉舌坐着战斗机向世界竞选；
十指的狂扫落叶的摧残数载的年华；
耳膜不断迈动意向神秘的嘶索嘶索；

我的骨架往向杜拜的摩登大楼比赛，
看谁的自大是无比绝伦的美丽，
看着大家的渴望衍生我的尊严，
那么斑斓的烟花就在腋下绽放。

完美诞生的它,就不断自我膨胀,
和日历的号码不断的重叠,
危险性满分的经纬就在悬崖上摇晃,
却毫无自觉,陷入自我催眠的深海.

显微镜的放大,反射自己的成就,
我就是辉煌时代的皇帝,
统领着一群跟着我一样的我.
在狂想欲海里面翻转打滚,好不自在
“恩,好舒服”。

闪烁的浮沉方块，弥漫着思维，混乱我的遐想，
玩偶，床铺，尿布，只不过是我的配角，
台上聚光灯锁定的走位，
主角的对白混杂旁白式愚笨的文化，
一句句给念出来，站出一只愚笨的傻鸡，
边等着缓慢的冲缓，血液里的莽牛，
迫不及待冲出底线，不断的往前奔跑！

一霎间的快感，握住她的手，
就是求偶的季节，天空的蓝，再也不是他们的领域，
重复性的方程式，不再让自己迷惑，而是昏迷。
忘了面包里的米粉，只记得万宝路的红色，
以为皮包里妩媚，就是最大的成功攀登，
天啊！自己也是一群季候鸟之一的菜鸟，
等待顶替带领的天职，等不了，
就跟随着这金字塔的文字看下去。

看毕，
头脑空白，两手凉凉，
这就是结局，这就是我们认为我们的辉煌。

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S.
The Gracious opening of the ceremony,
Visualizing the ablaze inside the millennium century,
Disagreements and debating were just like on their warplane to fight for the dictator of the world,
However, efforts that we put on are just killing our childhood and even our own neighbourhood,
& listen,
The eardrum is constantly receiving and moving towards the mysterious and unknown sound, Hiss… Hiss…

Each of the bone in my skeletal system is compete in the Dubai modern building construction,
building, building & building…
Do you hear me?
They are fighting to see whose arrogance is the most perfect and incomparable,
Thanks for all the audience who were present in this competition, thanks!
You all raised my dignity, you witnessed my millennium century!

Once the PERFECTION was born, it tries to inflate itself more than it could be in every single moment on the earth,
Since then, danger is nothing but an inhale of oxygen that occurs daily.
The inflation needs no consciousness, because it involves a serious self-hypnosis.

My achievements are magnified under the microscope and reflecting my pride.
This is an emperor’s pride to control over the century.
Leading a group which member’s is like me,
We are exploring every possibility within our creativeness under my honour, as the emperor,
Is this what I want from the very beginning? Do I feel or look natural by saying “I’m so comfortable?”

From pieces of thinking, to pieces of erosion & forming pieces of me,
Mickey & Minnie, My bedtime stories and all the pampers used, those are just supporting characters,
In my life, contrasting the focus light on the stage,
Dialogue & all the subtext tradition playing by the main role,
Telling word by word, standing just like a stupid chicken in front of audience,
Waiting for the crushing of feelings, chemical reaction is exploding in our blood,
Just like cow, facing a red flag, have no patient in waiting,
No bottom line, unstoppable.

The moment of pleasure is when you are holding her hand,
It’s the season to seek your life partner; they don’t care the colour of the sky since then,
The repeating style of the formulae of your life, no longer confusing human, but make them unconscious.
We forgot the flour in the bread, what we remembered is the red in the realistic life.
We thought charming in the purse is the most relieved success,
But, look back! Oh my god!
Actually we are just one of the migratory birds,
Our life mission is now waiting instead of leading,
If you can’t wait, you can continue to read these pyramid wordings.

After you read this passage,
Your brain still in blank just like your nude presence to the world,
This is the end; this is what we know as the peak of the Sacrificial Day.
