《指令》是英国创意剧团SUBJECT OBJECT携手荣获阿德莱德边缘艺术节最佳戏剧奖和都柏林边缘艺术节创新奖的作家纳森·埃利斯共同打造的先锋戏剧。面对“探究”的机器与“好奇”的观众，这部作品让演员以表演来代表人类的“创造力”。

接收指令，即时演绎，表演者无需背诵台词，而是由自动提词器实时传送，或通过耳机收取指令，然后对着麦克风与摄像机，用自己的行动及台词演绎指令。大屏幕上实时展现着表演者的特写，每一个细微的表情、每一次眼神的流转，都清晰地呈现在观众眼前。

Instructions is a groundbreaking theatrical work created by the UK-based experimental theatre company SUBJECT OBJECT in collaboration with award-winning playwright Nathan Ellis, recipient of the Best Theatre Award at the Adelaide Fringe and the Innovation Award at the Dublin Fringe. Confronting an inquisitive machine and an equally curious audience, the piece transforms performance into a living exploration of human creativity.

Receiving commands in real time, the performers do not memorize lines. Instead, instructions are transmitted through an automated teleprompter or received via earpieces, guiding their speech and actions. Speaking into microphones, moving under the gaze of cameras, they embody each command with raw immediacy. Their every gesture, every flicker of hesitation or resolve, is magnified on a towering screen—revealing the fragile, electric tension between control and spontaneity, between human intuition and mechanized precision.

这是一场形式与内容完美交融的戏剧实验，它不仅仅是一场演出，更是一次深刻的哲学探讨。它希望讨论，当我们在被告知喜欢什么、说什么、知道什么时，我们是否还拥有真正的自由。

这更是一场对表演者的演技 、心态、信念感的巨大挑战。当技术蔓延到舞台上的方方面面，如果我们把自己交给机器，我们会得到什么，又会失去什么？

This is a theatrical experiment where form and content merge seamlessly—not merely a performance, but a profound philosophical inquiry. It poses a critical question: when we are told what to like, what to say, what to know—do we still possess true freedom?

It is also an immense challenge for the performers—their craft, mindset, and sense of belief pushed to the edge. As technology infiltrates every aspect of the stage, what do we gain, and what do we lose, when we surrender ourselves to the machine?
