Taiwan Docs

Twenty years ago, old Taiwanese opera artist CHEN Wan-tsong set up "Zhuang San Xin Liang-le Opera Troupe" in order to pass on the soon- to-disappear art of "local Taiwanese opera". After his decease, his son CHEN Mao-yi took over and continued his father’s mission. This film documents the troupe’s transformation from an amateur community troupe to a government-subsidized one, the difficulties it faced, and the dispute over its direction. It took up to 7 years to deeply record the story of "Zhuang San Xin Liang-le Opera Troupe".
