THE GLOBAL VILLAGE
By Nan Yue
To You with unique vision，
and "The Global Village"
-the first Chinese installation drama.
Very small the village of my childhood
the adobes one after another
sunlight through the paper windows
coyly，enjoying the sunshine
Quilts covered with red flowers and green leaves
the room dotted with them
A household Kang
greedily
sucking from fire chamber
It's large, yard of my childhood
large enough to hold all the desire
flowing happiness overflowing
Smiling fruit vegetables
the chicken just attracted to them
here a cluck, there a cluck
humming over the seasons
All the seasons
taking thire time
pulling my hand
in a kaleidoscope
changing interlacing
With youth I went to campus
from everywhere we have
nourished individual dreams
Town legends
swallowed our villages
The majestic ocean of books
at library，I met terrestrial nook
strange and fantastic
I left myself
I saw the wuthering heights
felt lonesome from old fisherman and sea
was touched by Hamlet as well
before reading Oliver Twist
London was ever mistily
I never knew
Approaching middle age
The earth starting to become smaller
I'll have a bit of a cuddle
to hug each corner of her
By this side of the Pacific
can't see azure sky of otherside
but can breathe mote flying over
Who can escape
Round lenses
the rolling earthly treering
quadrate screen
freezing shot from each moment
splendid or desolate things reserved
for our offspring
Through the length and breadth
in such a huge crowd of people
we can meet a double, you and I
what ever the color
colored on your face
That is because
we all share one and the same planet
Gaia
we all hail from the same
village

【地球村】
献给中国第一部舞台装置剧《地球村》
和具有独特视觉的你
童年的村落很小
一间间的土房
透过糊满纸的窗
羞答答滴晒着太阳
几铺红花绿叶的棉被
点缀着屋里
一家人的土炕
贪婪地
吸吮着灶坑里的火
小时候院子很大
装得下所有的欲望
流淌着溢出来的快乐
笑盈盈的果菜
引来成群的鸡们
咯咯嗒咯咯嗒
不分四季的哼唱着
春夏秋冬
不紧不慢
牵着我的手
在万花筒里
变幻交错
青春伴我走进了校园
来至五湖四海的我们
背负着各自的独特
小城的故事
吞没了你我的村落
图书馆是那么的磅礴
我邂逅了地球的角落
陌生却充满了奇特
我忘记了我
看见了呼啸的山庄
还有老人和海的寂寞
也为哈姆雷特心动过
看了雾都孤儿
才知道
伦敦也曾迷茫过
人到中年
地球开始变小
我要拥抱她的
每一个角落
太平洋的这边
看不到那边的蓝天
却能呼吸到
飘来的尘埃
谁能逃脱
圆圆的镜头
滚动着地球的年轮
方方的屏幕
定格着每一个转瞬
留下精彩还是落寞
给你我的子孙
穿越经纬
茫茫人海里
总能遇见相似的你我
无论你在脸上
涂上什么颜色
那是因为
我们来自同一个母亲
地球
我们来自同一个
村落
