《長路》作品介紹
不論你要或不要，
時間，都會將你抽高，令你盛放、凋零。
知名的台灣編舞家、舞者與創作者黃翊，花了十年思考這個問題，並於 2019 年透過一座旋轉舞台與令人著迷的故事，在《A MILLION MILES AWAY》中給出了他的回應。黃翊以其獨特的藝術語彙，將科技幾近無形地融入作品，邀請觀眾與他一同探索人類、科技與舞蹈之間的交匯。
The canvas onto which the stories of A MILLION MILES AWAY are painted is a 9 meter (30 feet) diameter revolving stage, custom designed for the work and built to break down into easily transported wedges. An exquisitely constructed symbol for the perpetual advancement of time, the stage is modeled after a cross section of a tree trunk, symbolizing nature’s rings of time as the foundation of the performance.
Dancers illuminate stories revolving around the fabric of time and the bonds of family, rivals, partners, and self—at moments they advance easily in sync with the rotation; others depict movement in situ, stumbling backward, and soaring above with the precision of digital rigging. The dancers’ interactions and resolutions draw back the curtain on goals, values, and the greater design of our own moments within life’s cyclical patterns.

A MILLION MILES AWAY premiered to critical acclaim at Taipei’s National Theater for the 11th annual Taiwan International Festival of Arts in February 2019, and was the first joint commission in history from the National Theater & Concert Hall, National Taichung Theater, and National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying).
