Mr. Wing Theatre Company
Mr. Wing Theatre Company was established in 2007 by Li Huan-Hsiung, the current director of the company and a former core team member of Riverbed Theatre and Creative Society. The Company follows the values of Riverbed Theatre, a prominent group in Taiwan’s Little Theatre Movement, as well as its culture, which is renowned for its rich avant-garde and poetic “Theatre of Images.” The Company explores new artistic territories by integrating the practices and spirit of Medium Theatre and repertoire texts developed during its Creative Society period, as well as the more recent experiences in musicals on the illustrator/writer Jimmy, operas, and multimedia interdisciplinary performances. The Company aims to create a new platform that has no limitations in its scale and is known for its performance abilities and distinctive style to play an active role in international cultural exchanges through theatre performance tours. The Company stresses the integration of the various attributes of modern Chinese and Western theatre and hopes to encourage creative energy in the theatre field in Taiwan and promote the appreciation ability of the public.
