The U Theatre
At the opening reception , Taiwan's top performing group the U Theatre will come to celebrate the event with us. The U Theatre was founded in 1988 in Taipei, Taiwan by the now Artistic Director, Ms. Ruoyu Liu. On the whole, the U Theatre's performance features a combination of music, martial arts, and dramatic elements. In addition, the “humble walks” that the U People have taken all over the world are intended to reconnect the U People's selves with the land. Meditation and tai-chi, on the other hand, help the U People garner the greatest inner power so that they can get rid of external constraints and return to a selfless state. This way, while conducting martial arts, the U People will be able to let out the most primitive energies from their inside. In the midst of roaring drumbeats, a therapeutic purging force is thus born. This is the state of “having dao and art in one” that the U Theatre has long sought to achieve.
