About the Show
From the rich land of Taiwan, FOCA will bring you a captivating contemporary circus performance, "Song of the Land." This show will take the audience on a journey through time, combining circus arts with live singing to present the diverse cultures and captivating stories of Taiwan's land. From Taiwan's birth six million years ago to the emergence of indigenous peoples over eight thousand years ago, to the present day in the 21st century, Taiwan, though small, carries a rich history and culture. Throughout its long history, this island has nurtured diverse ethnic groups, weaving a tapestry of rich and varied stories that we proudly call our homeland. Through the clever integration of traditional skills with modern circus, as well as the fusion of popular and ancient music, and featuring exciting acts such as flag manipulation, martial arts, handstands, aerial rings, cubes, diabolos, and human pyramid stacking, we present a captivating circus musical. This circus musical will offer a rare visual and auditory feast, allowing the audience to experience the rich meaning and beautiful scenery inherent in Taiwan's land. Through four main segments: "Seeing Taiwan," "Taiwan Giants," "Turning Taiwan," and "Embracing Taiwan," we will showcase the diverse facets of Taiwanese culture. Whether it's sharing festive joy with family or cherishing fond memories of the past, all will be perfectly portrayed in this spectacular performance.
