城市之光展演計畫-戲劇簡介















場景1. 26歲的市府科員蕭東意
父親半輩子的努力打拼了一個完整的家,並希望可以將房子留給孩子作為以後的置產。無奈老舊國宅逢都更拆除,父親眼睜睜看著自己打拼下來的房子將遭到拆除,更無奈的是,兒子正是負責此區的市府都更處科員。

兒子面臨自己家裡都更案而得拆遷,雖不捨卻也不得不盡自己工作之職。父親與兒子之間的衝突,則來自於兩人得要殘忍面對幾十年居所的記憶被破壞、消失,而建商是否真能妥善照顧舊宅居民,亦或只為達成自己收購土地改建大樓或取更大利益而美都更之名行賺取暴利之實?26歲的兒子,想為整個事情做點什麼,卻不知從何做起。

場景2. 26歲的房仲OL黃立慧
立慧一如往常地回到「家」-她租貸獨居的單身小套房。立慧最擅長用最精省、最不耗體力的動作脫下套裝(畢竟今天來回爬了120層樓)、更擅長一邊拔腋毛一邊禮貌地接客戶的委託電話(禮貌是她生活的常態);她會的最徹底的是「言行不一」:她推銷「家」的概念使客戶開始對「幸福的家」心生嚮往,但回到生活中,卻無力維繫家裏的生活環境。她的小套房具體而微地顯現她的生活有多麼崩潰-因為她所有時間都被幫別人找家這件事給佔滿了。

立慧長久居住的小套房即將發生一件事…。

場景3.26歲的派遣工人洪唯堯
他站在人來人往的十字街口,等待,舉著廣告看板,等待,用最廉價勞力,等待,他舉著別人的未來,唱著自己的故事,派送著一間間夢想豪宅,問自己哪天是否自己也可以擁有一間?等待。

26歲的他當著派遣工,發著可能自己一輩子都住不起的豪宅美夢,他覺得自己跟所有剛畢業的大學生沒什麼兩樣,辛苦賺錢節儉花,清貧生活月月光。「生活是什麼?」他總不會多想,偶而這樣的念頭一來他就索性彈彈吉他、寫寫歌,心想,歌曲裡應該就是全部了吧?老闆說發不出傳單,這責任制的工作要他自己看著辦!能用走唱來吸引更多人拿傳單吧?他鼓勵自己寫了熱情洋溢充滿理想的廣告曲,然而每當他越用力的唱著那些歌曲,美好的世界彷彿就離他越來越遠……。

7/9 (六) 14:30

City Light, for 26-year-old me, and you.





People in my generation have always been said to be raised in the “golden ten years” of Taiwan. I remember when I was a child one documentary called “A wide world for next generation” came to interview me. For my generation, is it really a wider world? We were born in the 80s, the time when the disparity between the rich and the poor rose significantly with the economic growing in Taiwan. Some might say that’s why it has been called the golden ten years, but the economic growing didn’t promise a better life to everyone. Then we grew older and all gathered in Taipei for study, for job no matter where we’re from. But things happened within this 20 years have made it impossible to live in Taipei. To live in the city is not a dream, a hope anymore, but a delusion.




Since 1985, the year I was born, Taiwan’s stock market experienced a crazy bull market, the TAIEX index dashed from 636 to 12682, 20 times growing within five years. Looks like we are getting rich, but it was actually a warning sign. The extra income along with the Quantitative easing policy and strengthening NTD had encouraged people to invest in real estates. 1989, when I was four, a group of angry citizens found the “Organization of the House-less”. On 26th of August, more than ten thousand people slept with the sky as their ceiling and ground as their bed on Zhong-xiao East Road, the most expensive area at the time. Soon in 1990 the bubble started to vanish, the real-estate market didn’t reflect the influence until 1997, and it never really came back to the reasonable price. Government never really faced the problem in housing policy; unfair taxing and injustice rules are rampant. In 1999, Premier Hsiao Wan-chang applied the bill of “150 billion for housing construction revitalizing”. When DDP became the party in power, they turned the cutting of land appreciation tax (LAT) from temporary to permanent. Recently, the housing price flies again with the slogan of “economy recovery” from government with a series of policies and related provisions (such as rewards for the renewal volume).



Professor Hua, Chang-I pointed out in his research of housing economics that the average annual income of Taipei citizens in 1990 was 0.72 million NTD while the average price of house was 6.3 million, which was supposed to be 1.5 million if the house market mechanism had functioned normally, no mention the price for the newly-built. In 2010 the average cost of buying a house (or rather, a flat) was 15 million and the average price of presale pieces was 0.74 million per acre according to the latest record of first quarter 2011. Last September the labor bank announced that the average first salary of newly-graduates was 25,766 NTD while the average rent in Da-an district reached 13,976. The pressure index of renting a house climbed to 54% (Hsin-yi District 53%, Song-shan district 51%, Hsih-lin District 50% and Chong-cheng District 49 %.) The housing and construction related businesses were given rights to boost the economy growing while the young people suffered a lot entering the society. For the 26s, no matter we came here to study or to work, we might go and forth for a part-time job, we might move to Taipei with our parents. To every one of us, to have a place in Taipei is such a tiny but difficult wish.



Nobody really pays attention to the working class, who are actually the base to stabilize the city and the strongest power to change the world. No matter what kind of difficult situations they have to face, they are always able to pull the whole society through, they play a critical role in defining a city’s success or failure. I named the project “City Light” and wish to follow the spirit of Carlie Choplin in presenting the normal people who struggled to survive in the modern society. I started from 3 26-year-old young men and their own experiences. And the stories will show us eventually how we are all twisted together as a whole.

塵埃碎屑II - 城市之光













城市之光給26歲的我,還有你們

我們這一輩的人,總是被論斷為在台灣最好的黃金十年下長大的孩子。小時後我還曾經被一部名為「海闊天空的一代」的紀錄片跟拍過。對我們這一輩的人來說,真的有海闊天空?大約是在1980年代,我們相繼出生的那時開始,台灣的社會均等狀態開始與經濟成長指數脫勾。雖然也有人認為那才是台灣的黃金年代,但是經濟的成長其實不能保證所有人的生活也就能跟著變好。長大之後,因為升學、求職等故,不管是不是在這城裡長大的孩子,都聚到台北這兒來了。但這二十幾年來的種種累積,使得居住在城市裡,不再是理想、夢想或妄想,而是不可能。

1985年,就在我出生那年,台灣的股市開始暴衝,指數從636點直接衝向五年後的12682足足有20倍之譜,乍看是錢淹腳目的現象,卻也是第一個警報。就在巨額的獲利之後,配合著貨幣寬鬆、台幣的升值等條件,大批的熱錢滾滾湧入住宅市場。1989年,我的四歲生日那天,市民們再也忍無可忍,有一群人成立了無住屋者團結組織;8月26當天晚上,萬人現身街頭,以天為帳幕以地為床,諷刺的夜宿在當時地價最高的忠孝東路上。1990年,股市開始泡沫化,但房價的退燒則要等到稍晚的1997年才漸有消退,但是從沒有回歸到合理的狀態,政府也不曾因此有過對住宅政策的總體檢討,各種稅制或「土地不正義」的法條卻越來越多。99年,時任行政院長的蕭萬長提出「1500億振興建築方案」。民進黨政府時期,則將土地增值稅由臨時性的調降條款,化為永久的降稅政策。這幾年,又在政府以經濟復甦火車頭的旗號下,搭配各式各樣的政令及相關法規,譬如都市更新的容積獎勵,房價再度進入狂飆時代。

華昌宜在住宅經濟學的研究中指出,以1990(註1)年的台北市民平均所得72萬台幣為準,房價在正常的市場運作下應維持在150萬元,但當時的平均房價約630萬元,新屋更是高出這個價格(註2)。截至2011年第一季為止,預售屋的平均房價是每坪74萬元,而2010年的平均購屋總價則是1500萬元。去年九月人力銀行統計社會新鮮人平均起薪僅約2萬5766元,大安區房租平均則達1萬3976元,租屋壓力指數高達54%(信義區53%居次,第3則為松山區51%,其次為士林區50%,以及中正區49%)(註3)。建商和財團在社會經濟成長的前提下被賦予正當性,才剛要扛下這社會的我們卻面對著無比艱難的前景。26歲的我們,不管是離鄉來到這裡求學、工作的,往返於此城打工的,或者是根著未穩固的城鄉移民第二代,求取一席之地,都只是我們微小又困難的願望。

城市中的基層人物,雖然從不是注目的焦點,卻總是穩定這個社會的因子以及改變世界的巨大力量,他們的境遇-不管是艱難或飽含活力,總是強力的牽動這整個社會-造就繁榮或頹敗。這個展演計畫要以「城市之光」為名,重新追溯當初卓別林描述在大城市中無可適從的小人物之精神,微觀的截取出三段26歲的青年,他們的生活經驗;而這三段生活經驗卻又宏觀地,和我們的集體命運如此的纏繞交織。(文/鄭安齊)
