A Stage Reading of the Documentary Play Listening to Voice of Taiwan in 1977

飛機還沒離開地面我卻彷彿可以感受到—免於恐懼的自由

Before the plane has even taken off, I can already feel it… freedom from terror.

腳踏車鈴聲開啟威權時期臺灣社會的寂靜，踏上飛機，這群人在美國人眼中，成為了移民，對島內臺灣人來說，他們已向臺灣道別，然而這些散落在全美的遊子，卻在異鄉高舉標語，示威、遊行、抗議，大聲喊出島內被禁止的聲音。他們團結在一起，成為讓極權政府害怕的群體，無法輕易被折斷。

紀錄劇場《1977聽見台灣之音》是以北美「台灣之音」聲音史料、文獻和歷史記憶為主題衍化的故事。全劇為真人真事改編，在劇場中觀眾將被帶領回到40年前，聆聽一台電話答錄機裡的錄音，以及在這些聲音裡逐漸喚起的臺灣意識，如何讓「為台灣發聲」成為1970年代眾人一致的目標，竭盡心力在一個自由的國家為自己的同胞爭取自由。

With the ring of a bicycle bell, we enter into the silence of Taiwanese society under an authoritarian regime. Once they step onto the plane, this group of people transform into immigrants in the eyes of Americans, and, to Taiwanese people who remained, they’re bidding Taiwan farewell. However, these wanderers dispersed across America nevertheless brandish slogans and organize demonstrations, marches, and protests, loudly shouting out words forbidden on the island. They joined together, assembling an unbreakable group, powerful enough to frighten the authoritarian government.

Listening to Voice of Taiwan in 1977, a work of documentary theater, tells a story based on the audio records, documents, and historical memories of Voice of Taiwan. The entire play is compiled from real events that happened to real people. It takes the audience back 40 years to listen to an answering machine recording, whose sounds gradually awakened a sense of Taiwan consciousness. It illustrates how “speaking for Taiwan” became a goal shared by many people in the 1970s who exhausted all efforts to fight for freedom for their compatriots from a free country.
