康涅狄格州斯托斯巴拉德木偶研究所新展「拉里·里德:电影式影子」开幕:该馆10月以来首次开门,展出设木偶复刻互动区

康涅狄格州斯托斯市消息—康涅狄格大学巴拉德木偶研究所与博物馆(Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry,馆址罗伊斯环路1号,1 Royce Circle)新展「拉里·里德:电影式影子」(Larry Reed: Cinematic Shadows)已经开幕;该馆自10月以来首次开门迎客。康涅狄格大学校报《每日校园报》(The Daily Campus)11月9日报道了开幕活动。
据报道,开幕包括由策展人法利·格瓦兹达(Farley Gwazda)与卡里尔·金茨(Caryl Kientz)带领的展览导览,以及一场由康涅狄格大学戏剧艺术系教授马修·科恩(Matthew Cohen)主持的座谈。展览设有互动环节,参观者可戴上里德三维影子面具的复刻品,在屏幕上摆弄自己的影子,体验哇扬(Wayang)现场演出的视角。
拉里·里德为美国影子木偶艺术家,是最早赴印度尼西亚巴厘岛学习传统影子戏哇扬的西方艺术家之一;他1972年创办影光制作公司(ShadowLight Productions),以结合电影、现代戏剧与舞蹈技法的新投影方法著称,代表作包括1979年纪录片《影子大师》(Shadow Master)与多媒体影子戏《在忽必烈汗宫廷》(In Xanadu)。里德为掌握这门艺术花了十年时间并学习两种语言;传统哇扬演出中部分角色说卡维语、再由其他角色译成巴厘语,里德把这一译法改为译成英语。里德于2026年3月去世;金茨为影光制作公司执行总监、2008年与里德相识,格瓦兹达为里德的档案管理员,两人共同策展,金茨表示希望该展成为里德「活着的遗产」。
Ballard Institute in Storrs, Connecticut Opens "Larry Reed: Cinematic Shadows": The Museum's First Opening Since October, With an Interactive Display of Replica
STORRS, Connecticut — The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut, at 1 Royce Circle, has opened its new exhibition "Larry Reed: Cinematic Shadows," as the institute opened its doors for the first time since October. The Daily Campus, the university's student newspaper, reported the opening on November 9.
According to the report, the opening consisted of a tour of the exhibition led by its curators, Farley Gwazda and Caryl Kientz, and a panel moderated by Matthew Cohen, a professor in the university's Department of Dramatic Arts. Through the interactive portion, viewers can put on recreations of Reed's 3D shadow masks and play with their shadows on a screen, offering a perspective of what it is like to be a live performer during a Wayang performance.
Larry Reed was an American shadow puppeteer and one of the first Western artists to train in Wayang, the traditional shadow theater of Bali, Indonesia. He founded ShadowLight Productions in 1972 and became known for combining techniques from cinema, modern theater and dance into a new method for casting shadows; his best-known works are the 1979 documentary "Shadow Master" and the multimedia shadow theater production "In Xanadu." Reed spent 10 years learning the art form and learned two languages to perfect it; in traditional Wayang performances some characters speak Kawi and others translate into Balinese, and Reed made those characters translate Kawi into English instead. Reed died in March 2026. Kientz, the managing director of ShadowLight Productions, who met Reed in 2008, and Gwazda, Reed's archivist, curated the exhibition together, and Kientz said she hopes it serves as a "living legacy."
