项目介绍：
青年不止是当下的年轻人，也是人们的过去和未来。
《青年史》由戏剧人赵川（ZHAO Chuan，上海）发起，与阿努贾·戈莎卡（Anuja GHOSALKAR，班加罗尔）、宽迪思瓦·詹姆斯（Qondiswa JAMES，开普敦）、皮埃尔-安吉洛·扎瓦格利亚（Pierre-Angelo ZAVAGLIA，日内瓦/巴黎），以及音乐人迪米特里·德·佩罗（Dimitri de PERROT，苏黎世）和莱奥·科林（Léo COLLIN，苏黎世）合作，组成超越地域和世代的联合创作及表演小组，共同投入这个国际的跨越文化、媒介和跨线上线下的调研与创作项目。他们合作完成的实验性现场作品《青年史》，在2023年春天以线上线下并行的方式呈现给观众。
自2017年以来，“青年”是赵川主要的探讨方向之一，他与民间剧团“草台班”的合作者们一起，主持的相关剧场工作坊和表演分别于2018、2019年在上海等地举行。2022年疫情以来，国际交往受阻，他进入到新的线上线下相融合的跨文化剧场实验，持续青年议题的探索。从2022年7月开始，他与其他国际艺术家一起，以新的工作方法，经历调研，重访曾经的青年人，认识那些已遁入历史、不同文化和社会背景中的“青年”。他们在讨论和集体创作中，重新接近往昔的声音、视像、社会关系，或空间和建筑，相互拓展观察纬度和认识潜力，以激活“青年”作为历史中的能量和智慧价值。
《青年史》由瑞士文化基金会上海办公室支持。它是自2016年开始，由赵川与瑞士文化基金会共同发起和推动的名为“他者的舞台”的表演和研讨项目的延续。2023年春《青年史》的现场呈现由北京UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心和南京艺术学院美术馆（AMNUA）联合主办。
Youth is not only the young people of the present, but also the past and future of people.
“Youth in History” was initiated by theater artist Zhao Chuan (Shanghai) and co-created with Anuja Ghosalkar (Bangalore), Qondiswa James (Cape Town), Pierre-Angelo Zavaglia (Geneva/Paris), as well as musicians Dimitri de Perrot (Zurich) and Léo Collin (Zurich), forming a collaborative and performative group beyond geographical and generational boundaries, jointly investing in this international cross-cultural, intermedia, and online/offline research and creation project. Their experimental live work “Youth in History,” which they collaborated on, will be presented to the audience in the spring of 2023 through parallel online and offline channels.
Since 2017, “youth” has been one of Zhao Chuan’s main areas of exploration. Together with his collaborators from the folk drama troupe Grass Stage, he hosted related theater workshops and performances in Shanghai and elsewhere in 2018 and 2019. After the intensification of the epidemic in 2022, international travel was blocked, and he entered into a new cross-cultural theater experiment that integrates online and offline, continuing to explore youth-related topics. Starting from July 2022, he and other international artists have used new working methods to conduct research, revisit the former youths, and get to know those “youths” from different cultures and social backgrounds who have been part of history. In their discussions and collective creation, they re-approached the past voices, images, social relationships, or spaces and architecture, expanding their observation dimensions and potential for understanding to activate the energy and wisdom value of “youth” as a historical category.
“Youth in History” is supported by the Pro Helvetia Shanghai, Swiss Arts Council. It is a continuation of the performance and seminar project called “Staging Alterity,” which was initiated and promoted by Zhao Chuan and Pro Helvetia Shanghai in 2016. The on-site presentation of “Youth History” in the spring of 2023 is co-hosted by UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing and the Art Museum of Nanjing University of the Arts (AMNUA). Epson provides special project equipment support.

艺术家简介
赵川（ZHAO Chuan）
1967年生，其实践跨越剧场、文学、电影等多重创作领域，也介入艺术评论与策划，是2005年开始的民间剧团“草台班”的共同创建及主导者。他执着于探索艺术与社会实践如何交织——什么是其中的个人、集体、身体、思辨、纪录与诗意。参与集体创作、导演和演出的作品包括：探索当下青年生存状态的《草芥》系列(2018-2019），探讨困境、革命史与未来可能性的“社会剧场三部曲”（2006-2017）：《世界工厂》《小社会》与《狂人故事》等。赵川获得包括联合文学小说新人奖（2001）等多种奖项，已在海内外出版包括《激进艺术小史：上海80年代记事》（2014）、《不奔剧场：苏黎世湖边散记》(2021）、《另一场聚会：跨越多重现实的剧场》（联合编撰，2021）等多种书籍。他持续策划“亚洲生动”“他者的舞合”等国际跨文化交流项目，参与许多国际驻地、联合创作和教学等项目。
ZHAO Chuan, born in 1967, works across theatre, literature, film and contemporary art. He creates alternative and socially engaged theatre and is the founding member and mastermind of the Shanghai-based theatre collective Grass Stage (since 2005). For over a decade, as a theatre maker and writer, he has created a number of theatre works across China together with his collective Grass Stage. However, they are often unable to present these works in conventional theatres because of the issues they addressed and their non-professional set-up. The group encourages people from different backgrounds to consider human living conditions and historical issues, and stimulate participators and audiences to respond to those issues through creative process, rehearsals, performances and post-talks. Given its strong interest in social practice, the group’s theatre activities have often been considered too ideological, marginal and uncertain by the mainstream. From 2015 to 2019, Grass Stage supported industry workers to make their own theatre pieces; From 2017 to 2019, in dialog with young people from diverse backgrounds, the group has developed stage plays on youth issues in today’s China. His theatre works include Geli Isle (2021), Wild Seeds (2018) and Social Theater Trilogy (2006–2017), comprising World Factory, The Little Society, and Madmen’s Stories, Unsettling Stones (2012) etc. “Theatre of Contagion” is their new start of a series works since the pandemic era in early 2020. He has been awarded several international literature awards, including the Unita Prize for New Novelists (Taiwan 2001). His publications include fiction, essays and art criticism: On Radical Art: the 80s Scene in Shanghai (author, 2014), The Body at Stake: Experiments in Chinese Contemporary Art and Theatre (co-editor, author, 2013), Beyond the Stage: Zurich Sketches (author, 2021) and AnOther Gathering: Performance in Multiple Realities (co-editor, author, 2021). He is also the producer of an independent documentary titled Shanghai Youth (2015). He has been involved in many international art residencies, collaboration projects and teaching.
阿努贾·戈莎卡（Anuja GHOSALKAR）

Anuja GHOSALKAR is the founder of Drama Queen—a Documentary theatre company, evolving a unique form of theatre in India since 2015. Her practice focuses on personal histories, archival absences and blurring the hierarchies between audience and performer—to extend the idea of theatre to create audacious work. Iterations around form and process, modes of (social) media, sites, technologies, reclaiming narratives on gender and intimacy are critical to her performance making and pedagogy.
Her performances and workshops have been programmed by University of Oxford, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Sophiensale, Serendipity Arts Festival, National Centre for Biological Sciences, Forum Transregionale –ZMO, among others. Anuja is the co- curator of the international workshop series on Documentary Theatre with Kai Tuchmann—that programmed artists like Gobsquad Collective, Boris Nikitin, Rimini Protokoll, Zhao Chuan. She co-curated VR based performances for the Serendipity Arts Virtual 2020. They also designed and facilitated an online course curriculum on Digital Documentary Theatre for the Serendipity Arts Foundation.
As visiting faculty at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, she leads practice based pedagogy. She has written on film and performance for Nang Magazine, Art India, Bioscope, Hakara and for an edited volume on Performance Making and the Archive for Routledge.
Her recent work The Lonely Hearts Club, started as an instagram handle in March 2020, is now an online show about voyeurism, relationships with screens and erotica. Her newest live performance premiered at Sophiensale, Berlin in November 2021– I Promise the Bearer frames questions about art, funding and theatre. She is the 2022 research fellow at the archives of the National Centre for Biological Studies.
