Stage ‘The Village’

Premiered in Taipei in 2008, the play tells bittersweet stories of people living in Taiwan’s military dependents’ villages. Built between the late 1940s and the 1960s, the military dependents’ villages were intended to house temporarily the soldiers of the Kuomintang and their families who retreated from China’s mainland to Taiwan. However, they ended up becoming permanent settlements. Speaking different dialects and practicing different customs and traditions, people of three generations long for their hometowns but have to start new lives in Taiwan. The play reflects both social transition and the changing environment in Taiwan.
