燈籠搖曳,一個白色紗幕的房間立於舞台中央。說書人在觀眾間來回踱步,回憶見鬼的經驗。目擊前房客重複跳樓的單身女子、與陰間祖母日日通話的小學生、每天發現女兒不明瘀青的母親…
鬼為何存在?為何鬼故事總能引起聽者的強烈情緒─不論是好奇、恐懼、罪惡、或抗拒?《夏日微涼夜話》呈現在人際關係疏離冷漠的都會生活中,人們遭遇挫敗之後往往找不到出口抒發,必須尋找其他方式逃避令人痛苦、無助的現實。他們將希望寄託於看不見的鬼魂身上,鬼魂也成為人們心中想望和執念的具體形象。劇中討論的雖然是鬼,但關懷的還是在世的人如何對待自己的生命。

The sound of steps at midnight hallway, a lady’s obsessive love for past lover, a spirit trapped in the suicidal scene repeating the act, a mother guilty for her abortion, is she revenged by the infant ghost, or is she not relieved of her buried guilt? The midnight greeting of a deceased family, a window left open every morning, who is hiding behind? A Midsummer Night’s Chat is composed of many ghost stories, alongside the multilayered perspectives of technological images, ushering the audience into the most terrible tableaus of supernatural encounters.

新北投捷運站→北投→北投捷運站

2015年臺北藝術節委託製作《夏日微涼夜話3:STOP!巴士》,加入密室逃脫的元素,將觀眾囚於車內進行一段未知的旅程。觀眾必須參與故事發展的過程,透過尋找線索、解謎的互動過程,揭開背後故事的真相,才能完成整段旅程。
本劇以公車為載具,而觀眾將隨著角色展開一場記憶的路程,每個下車的場所都與他們有著深切的關聯,讓古蹟不再只是歲月的痕跡與古老的傳說,而是躍於紙上活生生的血肉;並且搭配密室解謎,讓觀眾透過互動,逐漸解開角色身上的故事,隨著觀眾的解密,越來越明朗的劇情,看似不相關的三個人,慢慢編織出故事的全貌。

Help! Trapped in a nightmarish city, how can one escape the galloping bus? 
A bus disappeared during its last city tour around Taipei; three strangers lead it to the underworld. Escaping clues are provided, but if they remain unsolved during the next hour, all passengers would be led into the darkness, and become yet another urban legend. “Stop! Bus”, the 3rd episode of “A Midsummer Night’s Chat”, combines the current fashion of immersive theatre, and the hit escaping game in Taiwan, provides a unique experience with escaping game and ghost stories.
