【2025衛武營馬戲平台】創造焦點 & YUCK Circus女馬系列《Bed Trip》

《Bed Trip》是一場從「失眠」展開的旅程。

失眠，不只是夜不能寐，而是一種清醒過頭的狀態—身體早已疲憊，意識卻被困在壓力與未解的問題中，不肯熄燈。

人們總會嘗試一種約定俗成的入睡儀式—數羊。那是一種看似天真的自我催眠，卻往往徒勞。或許，問題不在方法，而在於你遇見了一隻「卡住的羊」—一隻遲遲不肯跳過去的羊。牠一旦停下，睡意便全數崩塌。 

在這個作品中，羊不再是助眠的可愛符號，而是焦慮的化身：牠們被數、被跳、被馴服，如同現代社會對女性的期待—順從、柔軟、無礙於群體節奏，永不「卡住」。而那隻拒絕跳的羊，則是身體的抗議，是內心尚未被容許存在的聲音。

《Bed Trip》邀請觀眾去凝視這隻羊——牠是否一定要跳過去？還是，我們也可以選擇和牠並肩坐下？ 

Bed Trip is a journey that begins with insomnia.

Insomnia is not merely the inability to sleep, but a state of being overly awake—when the body is already exhausted, yet the mind remains trapped in pressures and unresolved questions, refusing to switch off.

People often resort to a customary ritual of sleep—counting sheep. It is a seemingly innocent act of self-hypnosis, but more often than not, in vain. Perhaps the problem is not the method, but the moment you encounter a 'stuck sheep'—one that simply refuses to leap across. Once it stops, the entire weight of sleep collapses.

In this work, the sheep is no longer a cute symbol of slumber, but the embodiment of anxiety: they are counted, they leap, they are tamed—just as modern society expects women to be obedient, gentle, and untroubled in rhythm with the group, never allowed to ‘get stuck.’

That sheep which refuses to leap is the protest of the body, the voice within that has not yet been permitted to exist.

Bed Trip invites the audience to confront the sheep — does it have to leap, or might we simply sit with it?

團隊介紹

Founded in 2015, the troupe was honored as Outstanding Performing Arts Group by Taichung City for the years 2018-2020 and again in 2023. They were also recognized as a Taiwan Top Performing Arts Group in 2024-2025. With over a decade of professional experience, the troupe combines innovation with tradition, integrating professional stunts and theatrical skills. This amalgamation has garnered them extensive performance experience both domestically and internationally. They are dedicated to applying contemporary perspectives and exploring innovative styles to blend acrobatics and circus acts, offering fresh interpretations of contemporary circus art and its essence. Moreover, the troupe is steadfast in their mission to promote and advance Taiwan's modern circus scene. In 2022, Eye Catching Circus received an invitation from the Phare Ponleu Selpak circus school to take part in the Tini Tinou International Circus Festival in Cambodia. In 2023, the troupe was invited to the Focasa Circus Festival and represented Taiwan in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In 2024, the troupe already took part in the Adelaide Fringe in Australia and it will represent Taiwan at the Festival Off Avignon in France and participate in the Taiwanese representative performance team at the Cultural Olympics in Paris, France. Additionally, they have been invited to perform at the International Festival of Contemporary Circus and Theatre Letní Letná in Prague, Czech Republic.

In the future, we also hope to exchange and learn with another companys from various countries, bring experience and creative energy back to Taiwan, create a new focus of contemporary circus, and let more people see the contemporary circus aesthetics that balance traditional culture and contemporary performances.

YUCK Circus

YUCK 是一家來自西澳的製作公司，致力於推動女性在現場表演中的發聲。無論是在舞台上、技術台後，還是在創意或管理角色中，YUCK 的宗旨是讓女性及女性認同者有機會向世界展示她們的才華。YUCK 的成員來自澳洲四面八方的偏遠、孤立小鎮，我們熱衷於分享作品並強化社區聯繫。這是一支由精英女馬戲演員組成的團隊，準備顛覆雙重標準，並以藝術之名勇敢挑戰。我們不只是輕描淡寫地談論女性議題——我們是字面意義上的「拋起」女性。隨著我們原創作品的成功，我們欣喜地擴展至創作更多新作品。目前，我們已有五個獨立表演，充滿了我們獨特的幽默風格和精彩的高空雜技，並在國內外巡演，獲得了數十項大獎，讓成千上萬的觀眾為之驚嘆。

A crew of elite acrobatic gals, ready to flip off double-standards and kick art in the face. We're not lightly throwing around women's issues – we're literally throwing women.

With the success of our original production, we're stoked to have grown to produce new work.

We've now got 5 independent shows chokkas with our brand of larrikin humour and high-flying acrobatics, touring nationally and internationally, picking up dozens of awards, and thrilling thousands from the public along the way.
