"Artistic Troupe Culture" is an indispensable folk performing art in Taiwan. Each step, melody, and rhythm of the artistic troupes reflect their deep reverence for culture and deities in every aspect of their training and performance. With the development of socio-economic conditions, the lifestyle, folk beliefs, and values of the public are gradually changing.



The opportunities for artistic troupe performances are diminishing, challenged by biases and misconceptions. Most people do not understand the cultural significance and value of this art form. However, artistic troupes are cultural assets deeply rooted in traditional aesthetics.



Therefore, we hope to integrate innovative elements while preserving traditional spirit. Through the Artful.Douzhen Festival, we aim to merge traditional artistic troupe performances with innovative stage creativity, forging a new performing arts genre. This allows the public to reacquaint themselves with this folk art, facilitating the inheritance of this art form and fostering a deeper understanding of Taiwanese artistic troupe culture and its beauty.



We aspire to develop the Artful.Douzhen Festival into a prominent annual artistic troupe event in Taiwan, eventually moving towards internationalization. Let the world see the richness of artistic troupe culture and witness Taiwan!
