Originally created as one of the featured productions of the 2019 Hengchun Peninsula Folk Song Festival, “The Sounds of the Peninsula” tells the story of women who keep the folk-song tradition alive, with the traditional yueqin (moon lute) serving as a thread connecting music and everyday life. In 2020, the Pingtung County Government commissioned our team to expand the production for a Taipei performance. To extend the event’s reach, we also curated a weekend of open-air markets and street performances.

Headlined by Ms. Chen Ying, a Hengchun folk-song master designated a National Living Treasure by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, the musical was staged at Taipei Expo Park before an audience of more than a thousand people, including prominent cultural figures and cabinet ministers. It became one of the year’s most talked-about and culturally significant performing arts events.
