Quan can’t remember why he died in Lu Ku Gou and now is inexplicably a water ghost. The water ghosts there decide to find out the cause of Quan’s death. The reason turns out to be the show Quan was going to see, so water ghosts invite a theater troupe to perform throughout the night. Can putting on this performance really help them find the answer and reincarnate? Inspired by a local folklore, Taipei Puppet Theater interweaves the spectacular skills of the traditional puppet theater and elements of modern theater to tell a story of the dead and the living as well as the obsession and confusion which follow a person into the afterlife.
