Travel to Taiwan/"Island Legend"

Nov 17, 2020

How many stories have you heard about Taiwan?

Aboriginal people, Taiwanese traditions, religious beliefs, folk tales, the scenery of Taiwan surrounded by mountains and seas, the Eternal Golden City, a national historic site, and the Detention Island Dance Troupe, Tainan Philharmonic, different artistic styles, showing cross-border cooperation in terms of visual and auditory .

The 20th anniversary is a very grand day for the Ten Drum Percussion Band. It is not only the main opening program of the Tainan Arts Festival, but also the day when all the Ten Drums return to their parents' homes. Every audience is watching with high expectations. this show.

I bought a ticket for 10/31 and brought my two younger sisters with whom I made an appointment. In the afternoon, I went to the nearby shipyard and Lin Mo Niang Park to experience the Tainan style. , I played on the shore for a while. I haven't flown a kite for a long time. I couldn't fly it at first. Everyone took turns to fly it. It's a bit humiliating, haha.

In the Eternal Golden City, I have performed countless performances. It is the first time to buy a ticket to enter the venue to watch other people's performances. In order to prevent the lack of parking spaces to park, I bought a few snacks that can be brought and eaten, so I went to Eternal Golden City early. .

As expected from past experience, when we arrived at the venue, there were already many spectators waiting in long queues to get in and grab a seat in the rock and roll area. Seeing that the staff were busy one by one, they could not hand over the tickets. Fortunately, the tickets were reserved. Don't be in a hurry to enter the venue, you can go to the dressing room in the first ten minutes and then enter the venue, so my husband and I also joined the ranks of assistance, sister~ I had to ask my younger sister to take care of her.

People come and go and find an interesting phenomenon. Is it because the performance location is outdoors? Very few people will buy the program book! The audience who came to see it, did they come to see the fun? Still going to the show? Or have other ideas? Although it is not necessary to buy the program book, it may be because this is a brand-new production. Unlike the general concert, there are many familiar performances. Personally, I still buy this program book. However, in order not to destroy too much imagination, I usually browse around it. , Only after the fact did I carefully read the content and think about the content of the performance.

The audience is two hours long without a midfield. This is not only a tough battle for the actors, but also a test of the audience's physical ability. Before entering the arena, they began to drink water in moderation. , one has to look forward to. Although it is an outdoor performance, the seat is more comfortable than expected, at least it is a chair with a backrest. At this time, the right of view and seat is also exerted by checking the number of tickets.

In the process of appreciating, because of the dance, the Milong ceremonies, and the sincere performance of the actors, although, without spoilers, you can still see some clues. On the first day, this kind of performance, I It feels great, at least the architecture is complete.

The next afternoon, on the way back to Changhua, on the way back to Changhua, the husband suddenly suggested that he would like to watch the second show. He was quite surprised by such an idea. I also had this thought during the day. I asked him what he thought, had a discussion, and thought about how to balance the opinions of the two. Since we were not free, we still called the boss and got a half-day special vacation every week. We bought tickets again.

Seeing our two friends who reappeared, they were all very pleasantly surprised and asked, "Why did you come here if you didn't want to go back to work?"

I smiled and said: This is a large-scale production. In the future, if I want to watch it again, it may take another 20 years.

The next day, I saw more details that I didn’t notice the day before, felt the story, listened to the music, watched the actors, more deeply immersed in the scene, the poignant legend, the enthusiasm of the belief ceremony, the historical style of the historical site, those because of the times The transformation of the film gradually loses the memories that people have passed down, and uses art to reproduce it, so that the audience has a more experience.

In the past, foreigners who performed abroad and did not understand oriental culture once said: Listening to our works, it seems that the scene of Taiwan can emerge. It can be absorbed and internalized into an island documentary, although, this is only a part of Taiwan.

Looking forward to a DVD release.

I found a very professional literary style commentary, which made me deeply feel that he wrote very incisively and shared it with everyone.
