Background Introduction 背景分享

The Rocky Horror Show is a horror-comedy stage musical written by Richard O'Brien. It was first performed in London in 1973 and then adapted into a movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975, directed by Jim Sharman. It is a parody of science fiction and B-movie horror films with themes of transvestitism, homosexuality and loss of innocence. It gains notoriety as a midnight movie and audiences enjoy dressing like the characters, dancing and singing together.

《洛基恐怖秀》原為李察‧歐布萊恩(Richard O’Brien)所寫的百老匯音樂劇,1973年首次在倫敦上演。劇中充滿了七零年代的次文化元素,向科幻電影及小說、搖滾樂和B級片致敬的同時,也進行嘲諷性的戲仿。性、暴力、哥德恐怖等元素充斥全劇,並以變裝、同志情慾、性別跨界等形式呈現至今仍充滿爭議的性別議題。本劇於1975年被改編為電影,在午夜場電影院爆紅,成為另類電影cult film經典,至今仍持續被放映。觀眾每每裝扮成劇中人物,隨著劇情合唱、改接台詞,形成一種獨特且歡樂的觀影儀式。
