Water Ghost Invites a Show - Taipei Puppet Theater (臺北木偶劇團) - 2 Performances

Performance Introduction│

The human world values trust, gods and ghosts have feelings; a model water ghost who cannot break a promise and never seeks a replacement, using Puppet Theater (布袋戲) and light and shadow to interpret the underwater stage and the realms of yin and yang. This is a mature work blending traditional art with modern theater.

Taipei Puppet Theater (臺北木偶劇團) focuses on innovative works based on Taiwanese local legends, using Puppet Theater to reach a unique new artistic height, showcasing the exquisite beauty of puppetry with traditional backstage music and masterful palm skills.

How traditional Puppet Theater combines with modern light and shadow to gracefully interpret the obsession and confusion shared by humans and ghosts. The water ghost invites a troupe to perform all night, not to "catch a replacement," but to fulfill a promise and let go of attachment. The struggle underwater comes from the faith of the living world. Watching a play, can one truly transcend this "life" and regain freedom? A grand event.
