南太平洋上的重慶“舞流星”

斐濟，赤道以南的海島國度，世界公認的“幸福感最強國家”，中國人眼中的“蜜月勝地”。在電影《楚門的世界》中，楚門一心想去往如天堂一般的斐濟度假，可見碧海藍天、度假勝地一直是斐濟的代名詞。那里洋溢的快樂氣氛無處不在，很容易令人忘記煩惱與憂愁。每逢大小節慶，斐濟人一定不會錯過用音樂舞蹈傳播歡樂的機會。

7月初，一群充滿青春活力的姑娘小伙，從北半球的城市重慶出發，飛躍重洋，為熱愛生活、縱情歡歌的斐濟人送去了一份“手舞足蹈”，觀賞性娛樂性俱佳的中式禮物——雜技。

Fiji,an island country in the south of the Equator,is recognized internationally as “the country with the strongest happiness”and “the sacred place for honeymoon”.In The Truman Show,Truman wants to take a vacation in Fiji wholeheartedly,which proves that Fiji is the byword for beautiful scenes.Happiness can be found everywhere,but sorrows can be found nowhere.On holidays,Fiji people will take every chance to share their happiness by music and dance.

At the beginning of July,a group of energetic boys and girls that come from Chongqing offered a Chinese gift to the passionate Fiji people,that is the acrobatics.

保留節目登陸年度盛會

經過十幾個小時的飛行，重慶雜技藝術團的成員們來到了本年度最遠演出地，南半球極負盛名的島國——斐濟，等待他們的是兩場“重量級”年度盛會。斐濟國家體育日，以及是南太平洋地區規模最大的商品博覽會——斐濟商品博覽會雜技專場。

6月30日是斐濟國家體育日，斐濟民眾在蘇瓦阿爾伯特公園舉行了豐富多彩的體育比賽活動以示慶祝。當天，斐濟總統孔羅特親臨活動現場，還有包括斐濟體育局局長及部分政府官員在內的1000多名觀眾。稍微熟悉斐濟國情的人都知道，這個擁有300多個島嶼的國家僅有一百萬人口，國土面積僅為18000平方公里，但其對體育的狂熱，堪稱世界典范。相隔地球南北兩端，重慶雜技藝術團受邀參加斐濟國家體育日，是一次難得而有意義的“禮遇”。

同樣位于斐濟蘇瓦，一年一度的斐濟商品博覽會FIJI SHOWCASE上，有近10萬人次參與，FIJI SHOWCASE每年年中在斐濟首都蘇瓦舉辦，已經成功舉辦二十多年了，每年吸引數百商家云集，同時還有豐富多彩的文化展示、體驗活動。和中國的廟會有些類似，它既是青少年的游樂場、美食節，又是家庭歡聚的休閑去處。今年是斐濟中國文化中心第二次派團參加這一盛會，并為重慶雜技藝術團的表演開辟了專場，從6月30日持續到7月4日，共演出9場次，每場30分鐘，每次演出都成為整個會場的焦點。

After the fl ight of more than ten hours,Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe arrived at Fiji.Two significant annual carnivals were waiting for them.One is the National Sports Day of Fiji,and the other one is the Acrobatic Special Performance of FIJI SHOWCASE which is the largest commodity fair in the South Pacific.

On June 30th,the National Sports Day of Fiji,the citizens celebrated it with various sport competitions in the Albert Park in Suva.Conrotte,President of Fiji,and more than 1000 audience including the General Director of Fiji Sports Bureau and some government of ficials came to the site of activities.People who are familiar with Fiji will know that this country has more than 300 islands but only has the population of 1 million and the area of 0.18 million square kilometers,and its fanaticism of sports is very typical in the world.Although China and Fiji are located at different hemispheres,it is an uncommon and meaningful “treatment”for Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe to be invited to attend the National Sports Day of Fiji.

The FIJI SHOWCASE is held annually in Suva too,and more than 0.1 million people will attend it.It is held in the middle of a year and has been held for more than twenty years.Hundreds of companies are attracted here,and various kinds of cultural shows and experiencing activities are held.It is a pleasure ground and a gourmet festival for young people and a recreational place for family gatherings.Fiji Chinese Cultural Center has sent a mission to attend this carnival for two times,and a special performance that lasted from June 30th to July 4th was provided by Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe.There were 9 shows,and each show lasted for 30 minutes and was the focus of the fair.

從后臺到觀眾席的澎湃

Excitement from the Backstage to the Audience

熱愛體育的斐濟人到底有多喜歡來自東方的傳統雜技呢？

“每場演出音樂一響起，在后臺的斐濟工作人員就開始大聲歡呼個不停，”黎慧紅在重慶雜技藝術團工作了近10年，帶隊演出的經歷不少，然而像在斐濟這樣的“場面”對她來說有些震撼。這次，她在后臺負責音樂播放，她沒想到，即使不在臺前，也能體會到表演有多受歡迎。

而在觀眾區內，尤其是博覽會現場，雜技藝術團的姑娘小伙兒們更是被當地觀眾的熱情深深感染。

“有個小男孩手里拿著冰淇淋都忘了吃，化了；有胖胖的小女孩努力地扭動著身子想跟我們的步伐一起跳動；還有全世界通用的‘馬馬肩’……”演員們回到家鄉重慶，手機相冊仍珍藏著這些感動他們的細節。還有，一波一波不停歇的歡呼、掌聲，密密麻麻對著舞臺拍照的手機，搶到魔術表演環節的中國結時的興奮，總統在草地上親切地與演員握手，還有什么比這些反饋更能說明演出的精彩呢？

How much do Fiji people like the traditional acrobatics from the East.

Li Huihong said,“The Fiji staff would cheer loudly on the backstage when the music was on.”This “spectacle”in Fiji is a great shock to Li Huihong who has worked in Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe for about ten years.She was in charge of the playing of music,and she didn’t expect to experience the warm welcome on the backstage.

In the auditorium,especially at the site of FIJI SHOWCASE,the Acrobatic Troupe was deeply inspired by the passion of the local people.They said,“A little boy even forgot to eat his ice cream,and a little girl tried to dance with our steps.It seems that carrying children on the shoulder is globally common......”These actors came back to Chongqing with a lot of photos to cherish these moving details.In addition,the unceasing cheers and applause,a lot of phones that were taking photos,the excitement of picking up a Chinese knot in the magic show,and the handshake between the president and the actors all re fl ect the wonderfulness of this performance.

雜技藝術盡顯文化元素

Acrobatics Shows the Cultural Elements Completely

如此這番深受好評的雜技節目究竟有多厲害呢？

事實上，擁有65年歷史的重慶雜技藝術團，是中國著名的優秀雜技團之一，1951年時叫重慶技藝團，后來由周恩來總理命名為重慶雜技藝術團，它第一個把數千年來以撂地攤為主的雜技表演搬上正式舞臺，它第一個用民族音樂伴奏雜技表演，第一個代表中國參加國際雜技比賽。甚至，在全國范圍內，擁有“藝術”二字的雜技團也僅此一家。

此次，他們受斐濟中國文化中心邀請，帶去了多個獲得過國內外大獎的節目。比如曾獲全國雜技比賽銀獅獎的《空竹》、融入太極這一中國武術精魂的雜技《力量》，還有獲得多次國際國內大獎的保留節目《舞流星》，無一不是在傳統雜技技術中滲透著中國元素，詮釋著山城重慶的人文精神風貌。

65年來，重慶雜技藝術團到過近100個國家和地區的500多座城市出訪及商演。近年來，更是通過“借船出?！?，利用國際友城交流、海外中國文化周、文化年、“歡樂春節”和會展演出、旅游演出、定點演出等多種形式，在美國、法國、日本、俄羅斯、烏克蘭等二十多國，行程四十多萬公里，共計商業演出達2279場，帶來了6425萬美元的票房收入。這個數字不僅領先于重慶其他藝術院團，而且同比全國排名也相當靠前。重慶雜技已經成為世界了解重慶、認知中國的橋梁，成為世界人民感受重慶藝術、了解中國文化的紐帶。
