Performing Group
[Yao Chang Co-creation (瑤場共創)] A performance team rooted in the Nanzhuang Valley of Miaoli, composed of artists deeply engaged in contemporary theater, visual arts, and diverse performances.
Each year, they invite artists from various fields to reside in the mountain village, drawing from world classic literature, breaking artistic boundaries, and creating cross-disciplinary works that are both artistic and accessible. They perform simultaneously on rural streets and in professional theaters.
Since 2024, they have used a red farm truck as a mobile stage, launching the "Red Bouncing Cart Outdoor Theater Art Action" (紅色蹦蹦車野台藝術行動). Through voluntary village tours, campus tours, and workshops, they aim to 'bring the world to rural areas and make art a part of daily life.'
They bring the world from the other side of the road to the villagers and children, allowing culture and art to take root in the mountains and continuously expand outward.
