Supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Taiwan Season (臺灣季) is taking place at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which opened on Aug. 2, featuring four Taiwanese performing arts groups: 0471 Acro Physical Theatre (0471特技肢體劇場), Bon Appétit Theatre (嚐劇場), D_Antidote Production (身體處方), and Seed Dance Company (種子舞團).
Launched in 2014, the Taiwan Season has during the past decade developed a strong and sustained presence at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe thanks to its world-class range of dance, theatre, circus, and music performance for both adults and children.
Presented under the umbrella title “A Glimpse of Taiwan,” this year’s roster of carefully chosen productions runs a gamut from endearingly silly shenanigans (I Am The BOSS) and innovative, environmentally-aware, and sound-driven storytelling (Little Drops of Rain) to acute and seriously beautiful investigations of human bodies (Palingenesis) and socio-cultural behaviors (Lost Connection).
The Taiwan Season is running until Aug. 25. For more information, visit the Taiwan Season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s website or Facebook page.
