《彩虹的盡頭》從「『ㄢˋ』–身體回家五年創作計畫」（2014~2019）開始，逐漸探索、實驗、發展而成，探討生死之於我們究竟有何意義？生命到底是什麼呢？演出以台灣傳統喪葬儀式「牽亡歌」為核心素材，「牽亡歌」是陪伴生者並超渡亡者的儀式；當「牽亡歌」進入劇場，林宜瑾謹慎看待傳統儀式對應劇場之轉化，不讓其成為徒具形符的象徵。從編舞、音樂、服裝、舞台、燈光，所有設計皆扣合主題；透過儀式的精神，深入尋找「身體為何而動」及「台灣人的身體」可能的答案，企圖完整傳統文化之於當代劇場的意義與內涵。

The End of Rainbow began with "Fxxx - Body Returns Home Five-Year Creative Project" (2014 to 2019) and gradually was developed into its current form through exploration and experimentation. The work discusses what life and death mean to us. What is life exactly? The work evolves around "the soul-guiding song" performed in traditional Taiwanese funerals, which is a ritual to accompany the living and release the souls of the deceased from purgatory. Bringing the ritual into theatre, LIN converts it with care by sidestepping the pitfall of turning it into a mere symbol. All the design in the work, including choreography, music, costume, stage, and lighting, corresponds to the theme, and with the spirit of the ritual, the work searches possible answers to questions regarding "what motivates bodily movement" and "the Taiwanese body," attempting to present a comprehensive picture of what traditional culture means to contemporary theatre.

1983年生於雲林。臺北藝術大學舞蹈創作研究所畢業。曾獲雲林文化獎舞蹈類首獎、世安美學獎表演藝術類首獎並曾於巴黎西帖藝術村駐村。以極專注並細微的觀察力做為創作基底，風格細膩流暢並富有詩意般的美感張力。近期對於一方水土養一方人、身體如何動與如何形成舞蹈有著極大的好奇。並發起「ㄢˋ--身體回家創作計劃」（自2014年至今），此計劃起初是從河洛與的髒話中看見身體的原始動能，至今則發現地氣、意識與身體的相關性。過程中透過田野採集等方法來尋找「ㄢˋ」的當代肢體語彙。現任壞鞋子舞蹈劇場藝術總監、台北藝術大學推廣中心教師。

Born in Yunlin in 1983, LIN I-Chin graduated from the Graduate Institute of Dance, Taipei National University of the Arts. She has won the First Prize in Dance of Yunlin Cultural Award, the First Prize in Performing Arts of S-An Art Award, and an artist residency at the Cité International des Arts, Paris. With acute and keen observation as the foundation of her work, LIN has demonstrated an exquisite and fluent style that conveys poetic beauty and tension. Recently, she becomes interested in how an individual is nurtured by the surrounding environment as well as how dancing is created through the bodily movements. She has initiated and continued "Fxxx - Body Returns Home Five-Year Creative Project" since 2014. The project originated from the primal physical energy LIN discovered through the dirty word in Taiwanese. Through the project, LIN has realized the connection between localness, consciousness, and body. To conduct the project, LIN looks for contemporary body language of "fxxx" through field research. She is the current Artist Director of Mauvais Chausson Dance Theatre and a lecturer at Center for Arts Resources and Educational Outreach, Taipei National University of the Arts.
