Synopsis:

相对论告诉我们:如果爱因斯坦能找到一辆光速运动的车子,对于他来说时间将停止,空间也等于不存在。

在滨海艺术中心空旷而孤独的地下停车场,两个男人相遇了:张军,昆曲王子,中国国家一级演员,他的身体里承载着600年的东方哲学与文化;田伟鸿,新加坡音乐剧男一号,他的嗓音里见证了数百年来西方的文化和艺术变革。

当这两个男人面对彼此,是什么让他们欲言又止?是什么让他们不能自已?

继《冒犯观众》之后,避难阶段创作的《爱因与斯坦》,是其"后戏剧剧场系列"的第二部。由青年艺术奖得主刘晓义构思并执导,携手两位得奖艺术家:灯光艺术林菀雯和声音艺术黄泽晖合力打造。一场跨越东方与西方、传统与现代的碰撞,一触即发——

时空消逝,大厦将倾!

- Feel the Earth Move

The Theory of Relativity tells us: if Einstein can find a car moving at the speed of light, time will stand still, and space will cease.

In the warm, stuffy, sometimes noisy, sometimes hauntingly quiet Esplanade Basement Carpark, two men meet. One is Zhang Jun, the prince of Kunqu, possessing in him 600 years of Kun Opera history. The other is George Chan, a leading actor of Singapore musical theatre, trained in the centuries-old Western art form.

As they face each other, each with their own histories and cultures etched in their bodies, what do they say? What can't they hold back?

A unique original work where East meets West through past and present, Einstein in the Carpark is Huayi's first-ever site-specific theatre production and is the second instalment of Emergency Stairs' Post Dramatic Theatre Series. Einstein in the Carpark is directed and conceptualised by Young Artist Award recipient Liu Xiaoyi, together with two award-winning artists, lighting artist Lim Woan Wen and sound artist Darren Ng.
