New Paradise of Silent Island2022
Production
Welcome to the 2022 New Paradise of Silent Island!
The flamboyant and giant Barbie Carnival Party is coming again! Come and join us in the Taiwanese-style cosplay party!
Mixed with cultural experiences of temple festivities and parades for greeting gods, the reproduction of the classic work by choreographer Ho Hsiao-mei, New Paradise of Silent Island, is to be staged at the Blue Box of Taipei Performing Arts Center! It reassembles those highly identifiable cultural symbols in contemporary Taiwan society, such as betel nut beauties, glove puppets, a silt walker and the Eight Generals of Taoist temple rituals and, of course, Barbie dolls, and re-interprets traditional Taiwanese elements with strong visual effects and contemporary theater languages.
With three high installments for puppet shows to reflect a golden ukiyo-e from the hybridization of the sense of Taiwan and the foreign and construct a dynamic time and space of traditional open-air theater, this production invites you to expand sensual experience and open up your imagination. A colorful and mind-blowing journey is about to begin and this time, you’re welcome to come as close as possible to the giant dancers, who will travel with you through the time of Taiwanese-style fantasy!
