Activity: Talk or presentation for an academic audience › Invited talk for an academic audience
Description
The presentation will then focus on two theatrical works produced by the Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe (FASDT, founded in 1991)—Pu’ing: Search for the Atayal Route (2013) and Ma’ataw: the Floating Island (2016)—to highlight the formal and symbolic dimensions of tribal culture and indigenous identity, in which the multi-layers of narratives are rich but complicated. Seeing from an ‘insider’s point of view’, the speaker/producer will then explore themes including representation and aesthetic of resistance, which contribute to manifestation of contested powers on and off the stage.
