way too B tight

— bonnie' cigar, Noii.arthouse, Hong Kong

“way too B tight” is an offline experiment by bonnie’ cigar, comprising a script-reading workshop and a night screening. The event’s title originates from a murder case sparked by fury over a ketchup bottle cap screwed on too tightly. An everyday product, an everyday action, an everyday narrative—at a certain moment, pushed to a crossroad, in which the everyday bursts a crack, and the incident unfolds from within.

If one is to encapsulate such an event, carving it onto a disc for endless playback—side A would be the meticulously crafted narrative, yearning to be seen; side B would be the very gibberish and chaos that its counterpart rejects. It is akin to frying a fish. Before turning it over, one cannot discern whether it is golden or burnt. Yet the aroma and sizzle emanating from the pan unmistakably signal that a fish is being cooked. Only upon flipping it can one glimpse the resulting dish. “way too B tight” uses B-cut as the entry point to crime, seeking to explore what kinds of happening might emerge from the surging currents. These events do not represent a single truth, but rather joints that are constantly generating themselves with an expanding nexus.

「B得太緊」是bonnie’ cigar的初次線下實驗，包括一場讀劇工作坊與中短篇放映活動。名字萌生於一場因爲番茄醬瓶蓋被擰的太緊，怒火中燒而引發的一場謀殺案。一個日常的產品，日常的行爲，日常的敘事在某個瞬間，被逼到分岔路口。日常出現裂縫，事件順勢而生。

如果說將事件封存，刻成可供循環播放的光碟；A面自然是精心設計，祈求被看到的；光碟的B面就是A面所排斥的胡言亂語，散亂無章。就像煎一條魚，在翻過來之前，是金黃還是焦糊無從得知，但過程中的香氣和聲音，無不在告訴你，有一條魚，正在被煎。而只有將它翻過來，你才能瞥見，最終成品如何。「B得太緊」以犯罪的B-cut為切入點，想嘗試看看，B面內的湧動，能勾勒出怎樣的事件。這些事件並不代表一個真相，只是一些在不斷自我生成的節點。
