Watching Taiwanese opera I watched Taiwanese opera(歌仔戲) called 散戲 this Friday. Unlike the traditional opera, the performance mix Taiwanese opera and modern opera to perform. It's a story about how Taiwanese opera undergoes the golden age and declining. Thus, I would like to introduce Taiwanese opera briefly and the story as below. Taiwanese opera doesn't have the story board. The actors will come on the stage after listening a person who is responsible for telling the whole play. In other words, by the mainly known concept, the actors have to improvise on the performance. For instance, sometimes when the actors have quarrels under stage, the performance also will be changed to follow the actors mind. That's why Taiwanese opera is also called 活戲. However, Taiwanese opera is like the shooting star. When the dancing and singing group appeared, fewer and fewer people watch it. Furthermore, Taiwanese opera almost disappeared when television and film came to Taiwan. The main role in the story is the also the main role in 玉山Taiwanese opera group. One day, when the performance ended, there is audience confessed his love to her. Hence, they begin to fall in love. However, as an actor, especially for women, it's hard to be accepted in the society. Because people think women had better work in the house rather than outside. When writing here, i feel Taiwanese opera is also like the women at that time. There's no space to change and jump out the zone. Fortunately, as the time past, regardless of Taiwanese opera and women rights in Taiwan, they have the more opened way than before to be explored and developed.
