This year’s lineup brings together theatre, dance, and inventive visual storytelling, offering global audiences a fresh window into the creative soul of Taiwan:

In Dazed and Confused (Underbelly), magician Lin Lu-Chieh combines stunning sleight-of-hand with an honest coming-of-age memoir — a solo performance that’s heartfelt, disarming, and gently participatory.

Where Has All the Fruit Gone? (Assembly) by Yinalang Group turns the humble tangerine into a symbol of heritage, migration, and Lunar New Year family ties, using playful object theatre and poetic imagery.

Whale, Where Are You Going? (Assembly) is a delightful wordless show that blends puppetry and shadow play in a whimsical tale of connection between a boy, an old man, and a mysterious sea creature.

Trace of Belief (Dance Base) by Chun Dance fuses sacred Taiwanese ritual with contemporary choreography to explore the meaning of faith in times of change.

 

Each performance is a European or Fringe premiere, presented in collaboration with Assembly, Dance Base, and Underbelly — long-time partners in amplifying artistic voices from across the world.
