本期《日落烩面》，我们邀请到常驻伦敦的青年演员 Liam Bull，聊聊他在英国默丘里剧院（Mercury Theatre, Colchester）原创戏剧 《Swallow the Lake》 中一人分饰三角的全新挑战。该剧由 Tassa Deparis 编剧，Yasmin Hafesji 执导，今年十月首演——故事从 Joanna 和 Joseph 搬到埃塞克斯小镇开始，在一场看似平静的晚宴上，一句“本不该说出的话”，揭开了旧日的伤口。
《Swallow the Lake》在童年与成年之间穿梭，讲述了关于记忆、归属与跨种族关系的故事，也提出了一个尖锐的问题：“一段终生的友谊，能否在孕育它的国家裂缝中幸存？” 剧作触及英国社会中关于身份、文化与政治的微妙裂痕，让“跨种族关系”的议题不再抽象，而是情感上触手可及。
Liam 讲述了他的表演之路：从被鼓励的少年，到“自录试镜—签约 Delaney Grey—闯荡剧场”的旅程；也分享了他在排练现场如何以开放与学习的姿态面对关于“种族与归属”的对话。从东方主义的银幕呈现、到到性化的种族标签，再到如何在亲密关系中保持共情与平等。爱是否需要一份择偶“清单”？多元是否真的带来活力？本期，我们在剧场与现实之间，重新审视身份、欲望与理解。
