Pingtung County, May 13 (CNA) Pingtung County has been promoting immersive performances by combining historical venues with outdoor spaces in recent years. On May 16 and 23, circus and dance performances will be held at Victory Star Village Ruins Park and Hengchun West Gate Plaza, respectively, bringing art out of theaters and into everyday life scenes.
The County Government's Cultural Affairs Department announced today in a press release that two outdoor immersive performances are scheduled for May. On May 16, at 3 PM, Unique Contemporary Circus will perform "Blessings Among the Ruins" at Victory Star Village Ruins Park. This will be a flowing, interactive viewing experience, leading the audience through the historical site. The performance integrates trampolines, physical acrobatics, and spatial installations, reconstructing an imaginative artistic scene amidst the broken walls, making the ruins a stage that carries memories and blessings.
On May 23, at 6 PM, B.DANCE will bring its internationally acclaimed dance work "Floating Flowers" to Hengchun West Gate Plaza. The inspiration for the work comes from the "water lantern release" culture, depicting the flow of life and emotions with poetic movements. It combines the historical scenery of Hengchun Ancient City with the landscapes of southern Taiwan, creating an immersive viewing experience. After the performance, a "Floating Flowers Ritual" will be arranged, inviting the audience to participate with candlelight, making art not just something to watch, but an experience that integrates art and emotional exchange.
