OFF Festival d'Avignon | Langasan Theatre

Taiwanese troupe Langasan Theatre (冉而山劇場) will present their latest works at the 2015 OFF Festival d’Avignon in France from July 5 to 25. With the assistance of the Taiwan Cultural Center in Paris, the French overseas office of the Ministry of Culture, the Taipei troupe will showcase varied performance styles from Taiwan to the world during the renowned summer festival.

Established by the Cilangasan clan in Hualien, the Langasan Theatre's “Misa-Lisin ( 彌莎.禮)” combines aboriginal Amis songs, myths, and rituals. Their powerful performance is shaped by the collective experiences of humanity and one’s motherland.

The annual OFF Festival d’Avignon, the oldest extant festival in France, is a month-long event dedicated to all elements of performing arts, including parades, theaters, concerts, story-telling, and circus routines. The Langasan Theatre from Taiwan will be performing at the festival’s Theatre de la Condition des Soies and Les Hivernales this year.
