Global Forms Theater Festival, presented by Rattlestick Playwrights Theater and New York Theatre Salon.
Twelve immigrant artists from different countries bring their talent and expertise to the project of creating theatrical “portraits” of two immigrants who entrusted the group with their stories. Roundabout combines interview footage with a virtual theater piece, written and staged in response to and inspired by the subjects' stories. This is a pre-recorded performance. I am truly honored to have be a part of the collaboration. I salute to all film makers---I can't do it. I can only do acting. Anything else drives me insane!!! The piece is raw as I did it during quarantine with me myself and I. I thank the director Sim Yan Ying YYwho was the sole cheerleader and a great director. I thank Inés Braunwho believed in me and allow me in this crazy process, I thank Cassandra (Nwokah) who introduced me into the circle <3 And of course, Ruoxin's beautiful words brought the true story to theatrical light :)

自己一個人弄了一個多星期，在隔離期間拍出來的。導演在新加坡，作家是中國人但住在紐約。故事是採訪真實人士來的靈感。當然沒有什麼製作value啦，我光是背台詞，弄光，找景，調frame，衣服跟化妝就差不多要瘋掉了。拍電影的所有人你們真的是太太太太厲害了！！！疫情年代演員不能再只是演員，讓我懷念起只需要好好演戲的時光。不過能參與這麼國際化，這麼挑戰的線上戲劇節，實在是一件非常幸福的事情。
英文沒有字幕喔，抱歉。不過是中英混雜的故事，所以不至於讓你看到一半想放棄（I hope)。

The origins of ‘fool’

Wednesday is April 1, when people in many countries worldwide celebrate the custom ( ) of “April Fool’s Day.” On this day, they play pranks ( ) on each other, the pranksters gleefully ( ) calling those hapless ( ) enough to fall for ( ) the joke an “April Fool.”

Nobody really knows for certain ( ) when, where or why the custom started. We have more certainty over the origins of the word “fool” itself, although some details remain unclear.

The word, which refers to ( ) a silly, stupid, or ignorant ( ) person, is thought to originate ( ) in the early 13th century, deriving ( ) from Old French fol, meaning a madman or insane person. The French word, in turn, comes from the Latin follis, meaning a leather bag or a bellows ( ) and, by extension later on, an empty-headed ( ) person.

Fool also referred to a rogue ( ) or a sinful ( ), wicked ( ) or lecherous ( ) person — around 1300, a “fool woman” meant a prostitute ( ), for example — and also a court ( ) jester ( ), a person whose purpose was to entertain ( ) the king and court, whether because they were pretending to be buffoonish ( ) or whether they actually were like that.

One theory is that the idea of the court jester “fool” derives from folles — the plural form of follis (bellows) — referring to the puffed cheeks of a buffoon.

It is unclear which sense came first, that of the idiot or the jester.

「愚人」的起源

下週三是四月一日，許多國家的人在這天都有過「愚人節」的慣例，互相捉弄，惡作劇的人樂不可支地把那些不幸被騙倒的人稱作「April Fool」（四月的愚人）。

沒有人能確知愚人節這習俗到底是在何時、何地或為何開始的，但我們對「fool」（傻瓜）一字的由來比較能夠掌握多，儘管有些細節仍不甚明瞭。

「fool」這個字，現今指的是傻氣、愚笨或無知的人，通常被認為是源自十三世紀初期的古法語字「fol」，意指瘋子或精神失常的人。而這個字又是源於拉丁文「follis」，意為皮製的袋子或風箱，後來引伸為腦袋空空的人。

「fool」亦指惡棍或有罪、惡毒或淫蕩的人──例如在西元一三○○年左右，「fool woman」指的是妓女，亦指弄臣，也就是在宮廷中負責娛樂國王和朝臣的人，無論這些弄臣是故意裝瘋賣傻，還是本來就如小丑般滑稽。

有一說則是認為，「fool」字的「弄臣」之意，是源於「folles」──即「follis」（風箱的拉丁文複數形）──指的是小丑鼓脹的臉頰。
「fool」一字是先有「傻子」之意，還是先有「弄臣」之意，我們並不清楚。

Lyrics:

You always keep one in your purse
你總在錢包內放枚硬幣
Just in case you get the urge
只為讓自己更有動力
So if you start to feel worse, a couple hours I'm on a plane
所以當你開始感覺不安時 幾小時內我將會搭上航班
Feeling insane
失去理智
Probably traumatised
或許會對你造成傷害

So, you say "Babe, what's with the face?"
所以你說道 "親愛的 為何你這副模樣?"
Maybe I'm drunk, maybe I'm wasted
或許我已酩酊大醉 也可能自甘墮落
And you know, I can't handle this
而你清楚 我不能很好地解決
Maybe I'm just a masochist
或許我享受著痛苦
Alright, fuck up my life
那就這樣吧 摧毀我的人生
Lie to my face, kiss me goodnight
對我說謊吧 給我晚安吻
I swear you know I can't handle this
我發誓 你很清楚我不能很好地解決
Maybe you should call your therapist
或許你該求助你的心理醫生

I do my best to stay away
我盡全力 遠離這裡
'Cause I can't save you every day
因為我不能時時刻刻拯救你
I'm waiting for the hurricane
我等待著颶風降臨
You're spinning out and I'm in the eye, dying inside
你望著我溺亡其中 逐漸遠去
Honestly terrified
實在是太恐懼了
Yеah

So, you say "Babe, what's with the face?"
所以你說道 "親愛的 為何你這副模樣?"
Maybе I'm drunk, maybe I'm wasted
或許我已酩酊大醉 也可能自甘墮落
And you know, I can't handle this
而你清楚 我不能很好地解決
Maybe I'm just a masochist
或許我享受著痛苦
Alright, fuck up my life
那就這樣吧 摧毀我的人生
Lie to my face, kiss me goodnight
對我說謊吧 給我晚安吻
I swear you know I can't handle this
我發誓 你很清楚我不能很好地解決
Maybe you should call your therapist
或許你該求助你的心理醫生
You know I can't handle this
你很清楚 我不能很好地解決
Maybe you should call your therapist
或許你該求助你的心理醫生
