《孽鏡台前》Before the Mirror of Retribution｜台語歌仔戲 × 陰司傳說｜Taiwanese Opera Inspired Original

三更鼓歇，鬼門開。 黃泉路頂無日月，孽鏡台前照一生。 陽間千般遮掩，到了陰司，一鏡皆明。 生前所做的善惡、虧欠與罪業，毋免問人，毋免問鬼—— 孽鏡台前，家己看。 《孽鏡台前》以民間信仰中的「孽鏡台」為題，結合台語歌仔戲的唸白、四句聯與戲曲唱腔，描寫亡魂踏入陰司、面對孽鏡，重新看見自己一生所作所為的時刻。 這不是單純描寫幽冥恐怖的作品，而是一首關於「因果」與「自省」的戲曲創作。 鏡中所照的，並非別人的審判， 而是自己曾經留下的一切。 ⸻ English Before the Mirror of Retribution is a Taiwanese Opera-inspired original based on the traditional folk belief of the Nie Jing Tai (孽鏡台) — a mirror in the underworld said to reveal the deeds and karma accumulated during one’s lifetime. As the gates of the underworld open at the third watch of the night, a departed soul walks the road to judgment. Before the mirror, nothing can remain hidden. Blending Taiwanese-language narration, traditional four-line verses, and operatic vocal elements, this piece explores karma, judgment, remorse, and self-reflection through the atmosphere of the Chinese underworld. Before the Mirror of Retribution, there is no need to ask another person, nor any ghost. You see it yourself. #孽鏡台前 #歌仔戲 #台語歌 #台灣歌仔戲 #TaiwaneseOpera #TaiwaneseMusic #TraditionalMusic #AI音樂
