NewCastle：艺术节舞台装置，荷兰 / Assemble Studio

本届Horst Arts & Music艺术节由伦敦设计师事务所Assemble为大家亲力打造。该艺术节圣殿基于现有场地规模，借用庭院形式，围合成封闭的适合展演戏剧的舞台空间。

One of the two stages of this year’s edition of Horst Arts & Music was designed by the London based collective Assemble. This year access to Horst castle is restricted 
and in response Assemble have built a NewCastle. Of equivalent mass to the existing and borrowing the courtyard form, the NewCastle creates an enclosed and theatrical space.

该场地结构由蓝色网布包围，营造出“施工中”的环境氛围，这种抽象的外观形式，随着场内环境灯光的变化，整个舞台外观也展现出变化的外貌。该舞台坐落在林间空旷的场地上，与旁边的湖泊相映成趣，三层的舞台构造带给观看者一种前所未有的视听体验。

Wrapped in blue netting, the castle appears under construction, it’s form abstracted and facade hidden; it’s appearance changing from day to night. Located in a clearing in the woods, on the edge of the lake, the three tier structure presents the spectators with a new festival experience.

两层连续的露台和中央深井舞台，让观众也融入表演之中，整个展演环境看起来像是莎士比亚的戏剧舞台。与英国伊丽莎白剧院一样，NewCastle将受人瞩目的舞台表演，转换成全民参与的艺术环境，让观众与舞台表演更加亲密无间，体验感倍增。该舞台结构在艺术节结束之后还将继续保留在原厂地中。

Continuous balconies on two levels and a central pit dance floor set the stage like a shakespearian drama, where both actors and audience are part of the performance. Like the English Elizabethan Theatre, the NewCastle transforms the stage from something to look at, into something to be part of, creating a more pronounced interaction between artist and performer. After the festival, a fragment of the stage remains as a part of the exhibition.
