Wang Shisi said that she and Culture Minister Shi Zhe had visited the Ravit Park site to survey the site, and conceived the idea of ​​using an electronic float with Taiwanese temple characteristics as the stage design, because they considered that if the electronic float was transported there, it would become an “imported vehicle.” , so through design, the electronic float turns into a stage performance when opened.

As for the content of the performance, four themes are planned: “Voice of Freedom” hopes that everyone will see the diversity of Taiwan due to freedom and democracy; “Island Style” introduces Taiwanese customs; “Contemporary New Ideas” is a cross-border mixture, hoping to create new ideas through opera Editing, reweaving different types of operas, especially traditional operas into new performances; finally “global integration” like Nefeiya, the performance content and projects have been watched by the world without borders.

It is a very important stage for Taiwan’s cultural and artistic performance groups to go overseas and be seen by more people internationally. Under this concept, invited performers include orchestras, dance groups, dramas, DJs, and drag queens Wang Shisi said, “France uses its national strength to invest in the Cultural Olympics. In addition to the very important and noble value of artistic exchange itself, it is also a good cultural diplomacy.”

The Ministry of Culture stated that the Taiwan Pavilion of the Cultural Olympics will perform from July 27 to August 10. The content of the program reflects Taiwan’s contemporary cultural landscape of multi-ethnic groups, sending young and emerging generations to present LGBTQ issues, contemporary interpretations of aboriginal culture, Avant-garde performances of traditional arts, cross-cultural dance, etc. The stage is designed in the form of an electronic float, and 3 to 5 performances will be performed from 5 pm to 9 pm every day. We hope that the world can see the vitality of Taiwan’s young generation and their interpretation of their own culture.
