A few empty tables and chairs, and a touch of light pouring simple squares, on stage at Navigant, as that is going to "empty" space. And came to China two years ago of the lover's clothes, play in the past two years the new surprise Valley, in front of an audience, is still subdued calm. Weeks of compromise and Hunan TV's arts | Wang
Beijing end of the show, there are viewers deep regret: fate, did not witness master interpretation of Shakespeare, creating monumental masterpiece of the classical masterpiece is now within reach of, just sketch in his later years. However the surprise Valley, while simple and calm, but not dull. Masters told people at the age of 89, the creation of plays: age is not a reason to lose your curiosity, and everything you can on the stage.
The surprise Valley takes its name from bosisufei mysterious epic poet Attar of the Conference of the birds. 30 birds on the journey of searching for the truth, they must cross seven valleys in the process--seeking, love, knowledge, independent, surprise, death. When I reached the final posthumous valleys, they are in truth the door, can't go on any more. Door opens and the birds have seen their own truth exist on their own.

The lights, stage lighting, these thoughtful poems for the play begins. At Navigant, the show, the "surprise Valley" represents a wonderful brain. Masters in old age to a great interest in human neural and cognitive, and thus created a trilogy. In 1992, he mistook his wife for a hat, a novel en:Oliver Sacks into the man (The Man Who); in 1998, Brooke yalishanda·luliya neuroscientists of the memory of genius made into a play I was a phenomenon of (Je Suis UN Nom Ph é è NE). At Navigant and co-host of the surprise Valley Mali·Yi Lotus na·yisitanni jointly build, still focusing on memory, the story still evolved by the memory of genius, was more specific issues under discussion--synaesthesia (synaesthesia).
And students often say language in the era of rhetoric "synaesthesia" is similar to synesthesia means a sense can bring a different look and feel. Nabokov is considered to be a famous writer have "synaesthesia" person. He often discusses with others, "the word is blue." France poet Arthur Rimbaud in his poem in the vowel wrote "white, a black, e I o, u green, red and blue: vowel are I'm going to tell you the secret origin".
Brooke yisitanni lead audience to follow in the footsteps of a woman with extraordinary memory Sami·kaosite. When she reads, sequential numbers and letters in her eyes, when she is listening, speech in front of her as the pigment spills. She even described as "noisy talking audio Orange glare in the corridor". Every time I hear a Word, she will automatically translate it into images, or they immediately think of a specific situation, these images and situations accurately and be engraved in his memory. She lost a job as a reporter--on the grounds that working for her amazing memory is really overkill. She is involved in cognitive science studies, however her brain's secrets cannot be fully explained. Scientific instruments drawn with waves, unable to interpret the color of her eyes and stories. Later, she went to the theater, performances with magician, to show off their extraordinary abilities.
The gifted ability to bring love and applause of the audience, eventually overwhelmed the Sami. "Tell me in what way I can forget? "On the stage, was stuffed by memory of Sammy choked voice, to the two doctor of cognitive science. Comfort for her, the two doctors sit down with emotion: "we are studying ways to help people remember, but ignores the forgetting is an important part. "

Interspersed among the Sámi story, there are two other cases: a 28-year old man, he was able to hear the jazz into painting an elderly man lost the perception of one's own body.
Institute of cognitive science, whether it is with extraordinary ability or are unhappy, everyone who came to be called "patients". Sami and young men when she first arrived, was ill at ease. They are afraid because their body cannot be explained, and was found to be heterogeneous, marginalized and ridiculed. Than finally his full memory tortured Sammy, these "wizards" initial fears even more poignant. They bring to mind for centuries unknown to stifle and exclusion. These details do not deliberately amplified on the stage at Navigant, humanity and life together, with flowing poetic language.
In August 2014, the surprise Valley in the Northern theatre of Paris, then travel all over the United Kingdom and the United States, and Japan. In the United States after the show, the New York Times critic said: "seems to be the creator that we will provide content, the operation of the human brain, surprised, so they don't need to shout. "Peace is the theme throughout the 75-minute. Two men and a woman, the three actors, free shuttle between doctors, patients, the magician. Play the only lively passages from a magician with audience interaction, this moment, at Navigant, empty space as if a moment into a bustling modern venues. All music and sounds from the keyboard to the right of the stage and, if necessary, he also became the actor on the stage.

Refining of the 75-minute length, simple story, almost empty stage, does not provide any answers to end. Watching them, many viewers feel is a hoot. Total plays last, unbearable memories Sami resigned from the troubled theater performances, determined to give their power for the development of cognitive science. Theater is here to an abrupt end. Unlike in the lover's clothes to defuse political history ink and plain water, the calm comes from the theme of the surprise Valley--all the mysteries of the human brain, has not been fully solved. In a sense, peace would come from poetry to join. From the beginning when verses interspersed in the play, Phoenix story in verse, man seems to be no correlation with brain and memory. But at Navigant and actor's eyes, lines like a magnifying glass, concrete provides a more broad understanding of ways of life.
Poetry not only lines, are also present in every word of dialogue, every actor in the stage action. Deliberately left blank as if Chinese ink painting, these statements and gestures are surrounded by an invisible silent. This silence is more usually an actor slack performances naturally bring out, on the one hand at Navigant, deliberately set out to create a theatrical: to think about how we think and feel the way we feel. Just as the poem as suggested in the Conference of the birds: the truth in our own. Unlike the feather boy Arthur Rimbaud, aged 89 at Navigant, not shouting "leaked secret origin". Play the surprise Valley is not responsible for the live webcasts, it provides the opportunity for introspection we live and think.
