“我咽下一枚鐵做的月亮
他們把它叫作螺絲
我咽下這工業的廢水，失業的訂單

我咽下奔波，咽下流離失所
咽下人行天橋，咽下長滿水鏽的生活”

摘自《我咽下一枚铁做的月亮》，由“打工詩人”許立志在工廠打工生涯寫下的一首數碼時代輓歌，文字鏗鏘有力，字句中為全球數百萬被遺忘的勞工表達心聲。許立志於2014年墜樓身亡，疑為自殺。

“ทุกรายละเอียดของการแสดงนี้ลึกซึ้ง แยบยล และไพเราะ เป็นทั้งการเฉลอมฉลองและอาลัย Xu และสั่นคลอนผู้ชมในเรื่องที่สำคัญเหมาะเจาะ คุณจะมองโทรศัพท์มือถือของคุณต่างไปจากเดิมแน่นอน”
“Everything about this show is thoughtful, measured, and well pitched. It celebrates and mourns Xu and destabilizes viewers in important and timely ways. You’ll not look at your cellphone the same way again.”

We are featured in Jom on things to do in Singapore this week!

Arts: I Swallowed a Moon Made of Iron
In 2014, a factory worker who manufactured electronics in Shenzhen, China, took his own life. After his death, his brother discovered the collection of poems that he wrote in secret: poems about his working and living conditions, labour exploitation, and the hopes and dreams he harboured for himself. Xu Lizhi passed away at only 24 but left behind a startling poetry collection that has gained him recognition as one of the best in China’s worker-poet literary movement. Xu’s poems have been adapted for a theatrical concert titled, “I Swallowed a Moon Made of Iron”, by Njo Kong Kie, the former music director of La La La Human Steps, an internationally-renowned Canadian dance company. Njo set some of Xu’s poems to music, creating a score for solo voice and piano that will be performed in Mandarin with English subtitles. This is the show’s South-east Asian premiere and will be the first time it’s performed in front of a large Mandarin-speaking audience. The show only runs for one day, March 14th, with two performance times.
