PERFORMANCE

The opera adapts folk opera stories, incorporates historical figures and its takes on the history of the Later Jin dynasty, introduces new ancient literature, and uses mayflies as the theme of the story to depict changes that occurred during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and how power, desire, and love came and went like mayflies, symbolizing the ups and downs of the characters in the story.

During this 30-minute performance, the audience is encouraged to calm down, slow down, enjoy the beauty of Hutoushan, feel the seasons change, and take a short break to recharge themselves for the days lying ahead.

In Drumming in Heaven and on Earth, the Ten Drum Art Percussion Group presents the sound of Formosa, using the drumming, visual techniques, and rhythmic music found in folk and indigenous peoples’ cultures to share with the audience the vitality of Taiwan.

Shine, be your own master, and perform with ease, happiness, and comfort.
