The Hsinchu County Government issued press materials today indicating that the Paper Windmill Theatre will perform "Lantern Monster" on XianZheng 6th Road (from Guangming 6th Road to Guangming 9th Road) in front of the Hsinchu County Government from April 24 to 26. The plot is set against the backdrop of the coexistence of ocean and land, embedding the Hakka faith and cultural values of respecting nature and protecting the homeland.
Hsinchu County Magistrate Yang Wen-ke stated that he hopes children and adults will experience the beauty of the Hakka language, learn to speak Hakka, sing Hakka songs, and embark on a magical adventure with the 8-meter-tall, 11-meter-long lantern monster through the troupe's vivid performance. The entire play combines 3D animated backgrounds, full-body puppet performances, and original music. The performances will be completely free and open to the public.
Yang Wen-ke pointed out that to root the Hakka language deeply, children from schools across townships in the county have been invited to watch. The county is also subsidizing shuttle bus fares and student meal costs for schools so that more children can enjoy the troupe's performance and learn Hakka language and culture.
Yang mentioned that to accommodate the large stage and props setup for the event, XianZheng 6th Road will be closed from April 19 to April 27, and parking spaces on this road segment will be cleared. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150409
