Pursuing the Light Ahead-Into PAUL CHIANG

“Pursuing the Light Ahead-Into PAUL CHIANG” draws inspiration from the pivotal works of renowned artist Paul Chiang, who, after 30 years abroad, returned to his hometown, Taiwan. Using works such as “Notre Dame de Paris”, “Hundred Year Temple”, “Pisilian, “Silver Lake”, and his sculptures as creative foundations, this piece explores the dialogue between humanity, nature, spirit, and space, inspired by light. It reflects Chiang’s creative spirit during a time of introspection, capturing an inner light and finding enduring strength and purpose through music. This journey invites reflection on life’s essence and a pursuit of humanistic care.

Inspired by Chiang’s sculptures, the stage design seeks to convey this sense of blurred boundaries in space. Departing from traditional static theater setups, the stage deconstructs and reassembles to serve as a dynamic, multi-layered projection surface. This layered spatial design enables actors, dancers, and musicians to move freely, flowing like musical notes through an ever-evolving, multidimensional space.
