04/24(Sat)14:3004/25(Sun)14:30
Atile’i, a young boy from the mysterious island of Wayo Wayo, follows his island’s customs and embarks into the great unknown on the day of the 180th full moon after his birth. Alice, a professor living alone on the east coast of Taiwan, yearns only for death after the loss of her son and husband in the mountains. Dahu and Hafay, hailing from the Bunun and Amis tribes, each bear their distinct burdens in their choices in life. As the Pacific trash vortex impacts Taiwan, all lives become inextricably intertwined, while “the man with compound eyes” gazes silently upon the suffering and perseverance of mankind.
German director Lukas Hemleb brings WU Ming-yi’s internationally acclaimed novel to the stage, in this world premiere and rich adaptation incorporating drama play, puppet theater, symphonic music and multimedia art. The Man with the Compound Eyes is co-produced by National Taichung Theater and Taipei Performing Arts Center.
