ABSTRACT

With an analysis on Golden Bough Theater’s Troy, Troy... Taiwan, this article will investigate how they de-contextualize Greek Epic Iliad with an eclectic collage of the tropes of Greek epic, the techniques of environmental theater and Taiwanese local opera, and the aesthetics of Taiwanese indigenous rituals and Pili Puppetry. It will discuss how the performers transform Greek epic into a Taiwanese allegory in search of Taiwanese cultural roots and identities. Furthermore, in the cultural encounter between the East and the West, multiple folds of significance will be explored through their hybridized performance genres and rituals as well as symbolic interaction in various performance venues with different historical and cultural legacies. 

KEYWORDS
