Theater
2026 Maoli Performing Arts Festival "However, Siddhartha" (2 Performances)
"I particularly like the handling of the dialogue language in this play."
"The overall stage art composition and flowing visuals are truly beautiful!"
"I like the treatment of 'time' in this play."
"When entering the theater, I felt I wasn't watching a story, but entering a deep spiritual flow."
"Although I haven't read the original "Siddhartha," through the adapted text, I could also feel a different vitality, like the struggle between two selves and mutual envy between two friends... It seems to offer a different insight into a life full of stories."
This side of the river is my beloved; and that side of the river is the pursuit of my life.
This boatman is as heavy as a rock, my heart swings like a paddle.
Can I abandon everything and leave?
Siddhartha, the chosen one possessing all beauty and wealth.
To pursue the path of life, he resolutely leaves home; yet on his journey of asceticism seeking enlightenment, he falls in love with Kamala.
Her lips conceal the secrets of love, her beautiful body writes happiness.
However, is this a scripture leading to salvation, or a phantom before堕落自杀?
A creative team gathering Taiwan × India × Japan Indian musicians perform live chanting
This is also Chiang Tan Chia-yen (江譚佳彥)'s third reinterpretation of Hermann Hesse's classic work. This role原型based on the Buddha story, from Germany back to the剧本of Indian director Chiang Tan Chia-yen, integrates the profound philosophical contemplation and感性叙事of the novel into one. Amid the悠扬live chanting of Indian musicians, Siddhartha once again converses with his own soul on the contemporary stage, in the dilemma between pursuing truth and亲情, leading the audience on a journey to圆满心灵.
