A Dream: The Art of Scenography

Theater designer Chou Tung-yen (周東彥), a longtime collaborator of established Taiwan troupes such as Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, hosted the opening event of the 2019 Tea Philo series in Malaysia with an in-depth discussion on the art of scenography, for which he won several international awards.

Chou revealed how it took him three years to deconstruct and re-visualize the cascade of traditional Chinese characters used on the stage of “Formosa (關於島嶼),” the grand opus of Cloud Gate patriarch Lin Hwai-min (林懷民). From flowing waterfalls to majestic mountains, the stunning projection design was recognized by the 2018 Knight of Illumination Awards.
