When the world is scarred by pandemics and wars, art becomes a sanctuary for the soul and radiates like a beacon of “Hope.” Driven by a deep longing and calling for “Love” and “Peace,” we craft a tapestry of time and dreams, using music as our loom. Technology, nature, history, and imagination are our threads, woven into a living story that sings and praise. We invite you to enter a realm where light and shadows intertwine and feel the first awakening of life. Through an immersive and interactive art experience, we hope to bring people together with the message of “Love,” to illuminate the future with “Hope,” and to strive for “Peace.”
Taiwan’s DNA pulses through the artwork where we utilized motion and volumetric capture technology, 3D modeling, dynamic algorithms, and biomimetics. AI is utilized to enhance visuals and to generate unique images. A music recognition system was designed for the purpose of synching the artwork to the live music. 360-degree spatial mapping and mirrored designs extend the visual field that traverses four walls and the floor to achieve a boundless 3D production viewable through the naked eye. Through orchestrated group rituals and sensor controlled floor elements, we foster audience engagement to create an immersive theater experience. A Live performance by the pianist and dancer blend the real with the virtual worlds to present a collaborative integrated cross artwork. Join us as we invite you to spread your wings of imagination and immerse yourself in this surreal, story-driven world.

【Director / Creator / Curator’s Message】
Hope Peace Love
Looking back on the impact of pandemics that claimed the lives of millions worldwide, the ongoing conflict in Europe, and the geopolitical tensions in Asia, epidemics and wars have severely damaged human life, culture, and historical heritage. In such a turbulent era, the values of peace, love, and hope are precious. For the Egret Cultural and Educational Foundation’s 30th anniversary production, we create an immersive performance exhibition centered around the calligraphy of “Hope” by the late Dr. Hsiu-Yi Lu, the foundation’s founder, with “Peace” and “Love” as supporting themes. We pray for wars to end, for world peace, and for the well-being of humanity.
Immersive Interactive Performing Art
An Immersive Interactive Performing Art beckons us to come into a dreamlike realm, a space that transcends the ordinary and the real. Enter a space where walls and floors become vibrant canvases, pulsating with enchantment and wonder. Find yourself fully immersed in a colossal painting, every inch teeming with dynamism. Once static artworks are now transformed into shimmering points of memory, reimagining themselves around you. Beneath your feet, lies a glistening blue river, illuminating your steps with a soft glow.
The piano notes, like a wandering minstrel, weaves a narrative of heartfelt emotions, guiding you deeper into this dreamland. As dancers and pianists intertwine in their art, you are invited to explore. Each note, each movement, touches your soul, evoking a spectrum of emotions, from the tranquility of still waters to the intensity of a raging fire. In this moment, you are woven into the fabric of the performance, your breath and heartbeat echoing the rhythm of the art. Time loses its meaning as you are enveloped in a dreamlike state, your senses captivated by every note, every movement. As the lights fade, you emerge, carrying the echoes of this enchanting experience, forever marked by its ethereal beauty.
【Immersive Perform】
SUNFLOWER— A seed of Hope sprouts from darkness. The Sunflower weaves a symbolic journey. We witness the birth of existence, the fight for freedom, and the enduring power of hope. The experience invites us to reflect on the cyclical nature of creation and destruction, the power of faith and ideals, and the enduring spirit of hope that allows us to leave a positive mark in the world.
BUTTERFLY ORCHID— Trapped by Emotions and Transformed by Love. This fantasy begins with a botanist rescuing a captured butterfly. Showing immense gratitude, the butterfly transforms into a woman but fails to receive his love. Ultimately, she morphs into a new species of orchids to the ecstatic delight of the botanist and is hailed as the Queen of orchids.
OBSESSION— An Illusory Dream; Is it chaos or is it an obsession? Someone searches thousands of times and is lost in an illusionary maze. Exactly who is the object of this obsession? What is the reason for losing one’s way? Is there a path back or do you fall deeper into the abyss? Life is a dream, an obsession. One wonders: “Is every pursuit ultimately for naught?”
DEATH— Chasing the Enigma. Time intertwines space and peace. There is confusion, evasion, search, and pursuit. The oscillation between reality and illusion, weaves into a vortex-like flow that makes it nearly impossible for people to detach temporarily, let alone withdraw from completely. Can true peace only be achieved through absolute sacrifice or psyche sublimation?
