Fountain of Love and Life Presents “Matteo Ricci Musical Live” Overseas Charity Screening and Sharing

生命恩泉榮幸呈獻香港原創大型音樂劇《利瑪竇》原聲電影版放映，讓加拿大觀眾透過大銀幕重溫這齣根據西方傳教士利瑪竇在中國傳教事蹟改編的作品。該劇2019年於香港首演時門票迅速售罄，四年內三度公演場場爆滿，好評如潮。製作單位將此劇場實況以多角度捕捉並精心剪接，打造成為一部視覺藝術元素豐富的音樂劇錄影作品，現首度在海外透過生命恩泉呈獻，讓加拿大觀眾感受到舞台上的每一個觸動人心的時刻。

放映結束後，將設有分享環節。由特別嘉賓作分享，帶領觀眾在光影與故事之中延續感動，彼此啟發，細味信仰、困難及文化交織的深層意義。

Fountain of Love and Life is honoured to present the stage film version of the original large-scale "Matteo Ricci The Musical" from Hong Kong. This special presentation offers Canadian audiences the opportunity to experience on the big screen a production inspired by the missionary work of Matteo Ricci, an Italian Jesuit priest, in China.

Since its premiere in Hong Kong in 2019, the musical sold out rapidly and went on to have three runs over four years, all to full houses and widespread critical acclaim. The production has been captured from multiple angles and carefully edited, transforming the live theatrical performance into a visually rich stage film.

Now presented overseas for the first time by Fountain of Love and Life, this screening invites audiences in Canada to relive every moving and powerful moment of the performance on screen.

Following the screening, a sharing session will be held, featuring special guest speakers, who will guide the audience to continue the experience through the film and its story, offering inspiration and deeper reflection on the interplay of faith, struggles, and culture.

故事大綱

當年的他不是為了盛名而去，穿過被孤立被質疑的幽暗歲月，回頭一看，原來，夢想早已扎根：中西文化相融的信念，在東方國度撒下了種子。

利瑪竇，一個傳奇人物。美國雜誌《生活》雜誌將他評為公元第二千年內（1000年－1999年），最有影響力的百名人物之一員。

年輕的利瑪竇，為了傳教，渡海來陌生的東方國度中國。而迎接他的是因百般誤解而生的敵意。選擇在他面前：是堅持將當時的西方天主教教義，照搬到中國，那面臨就是被打罵、驅逐的風險？還是放棄自身的信念，以中國的禮節習俗為主？那面臨就是違背天主教的教義。他勇敢地選擇了第三條路：一條無人敢嘗試的路。他學習漢語，開放地了解、吸收中國文化，和士大夫、平民交往，再用其豐富的學識，文學、科學、禮儀、哲學以及宗教論說等，付出無比的心力和時間， 終搭建出中西文化融合的「利瑪竇規矩」。

《利瑪竇》音樂劇，呈現就是當年的利瑪竇，面臨中西文化習俗衝突的危機，四面楚歌，孤獨在東方國度的他如何穿過漫長的幽暗歲月？

Synopsis

It was never for fame that he embarked on this expedition. Journeying through the bleak times of alienation and being questioned, he looked back to find his dream had long been planted: the belief in blending Chinese and Western cultures had been growing in the Eastern nation.

Matteo Ricci------ and legend is his name------was listed by Life Magazine in The 100 People Who Made the Millennium (1000-1999).

The young Matteo Ricci, voyaged across oceans to China, for his missionary work. And what greeted him was hostility hosted by misunderstandings and two choices: stick to the then western Christian theology and bring it unchanged to China, which might lead to scolding, beating, or deportation; or forsake his belief and abide by Chinese customs, which might end up in abandonment of the Christian theology. Yet, he came to uncover the third approach: a direction no one attempted. He learned Chinese and with an open mind studied Chinese culture. He socialized with Chinese scholar officials as well as civilians. Then taking advantage of his extensive knowledge from literature, science, manners to philosophy and religion theories, with great efforts and time spent, he established the Matteo Ricci’s Method to combine the Chinese and Western cultures.

The musical Matteo Ricci tells a story about how the then Matteo Ricci, in the crisis of conflicting Chinese and Western customs, enveloped by hostility, struggled through the lengthened dark times alone in this Eastern nation.
