The story

Taipei Arts Festival in Taipei

The Taipei Arts Festival is Taipei's flagship international performing arts festival, running since the late 1990s under the city's cultural affairs administration and, more recently, the Taipei Performing Arts Center. Each edition curates a theme around contemporary theatre and dance, mixing Taiwanese companies with touring international productions across late summer and autumn.

For a few weeks each year, Taipei's larger theatres turn their stages over to work chosen not for its familiarity but for its ambition.
