Conference

offered to encourage student participation. ATaiwanese
Culture Performanceand an honorary speech on“Carbon
and Climate Change”will be delivered before the
authentic cuisine.
The
77 year-old puppet
master Chen Xihuang is the most celebrated puppeteer in Taiwan. He
started performing puppet theatre at the age of thirteen with his
father, the famous puppeteer Li Tianlu. His
greatt-grandfather
was a teacher of the emperor at the court in Peking. At present the
master still lines in an apartment in his great grandfather's huge
traditional mansion in Taipei.

Over
a period of 60 years, Chen
developed and improved the
traditional
glove puppet theatre performance technique and raised it to
unprecedented levels. He performed in over 30 countries around the
world from Cambodia to Morocco, the Royal Festival Hall in London to
the countryside of Central America. His students now form the core of
future traditional Taiwanese puppet theatre. His professional attitude
and interpretation of the different characters is an enormous
inspiration to all people he works with. In recent years he also
applied his skills to more modern shows, which were a great success.
His versatility, background and personality make him an outstanding
performer of Taiwanese puppet theatre, as well as a unique character in
the Taiwanese arts.

During
the Taiwanese Puppet
Master’s Demonstration,
Master
Chen
will show the audience the delicate gesture and movements of the main
characters, such as the young lady, the scholar, but also the clowns
and the villains, as well as exciting fighting scenes, a Chinese lion
dance and even an old man smoking a real pipe. In this fascinating
demonstration we will see a glimpse of one of the most beautiful
theatre performances in the world and the sheer virtuosity of Taiwanese
puppet performance.
