U Theatre to perform signature piece in Changhua County on Nov. 28

The “Sound of Ocean” is an abstract work about a rhythmically propelled physical exploration of water, which aims to project “peace” and “sharing” to the audience, in much the same way that a mother's heartbeat is transmitted to her unborn child.

In order to vividly convey that concept without an explicit narrative thread, U Theatre's performers will use a combination of traditional martial arts techniques, meditation, modern theatrical skills and ancient Chinese opera arts.

Gongs, drums and temple bells will trace the journey of a drop of water as it falls from the sky and joins other drops in a fast running stream that flows into the vast ocean.

“Sound of the Ocean” is not only one of the most representative creations of U Theatre, but it is also a work that has been acclaimed internationally on its world tours.

The “Sound of Ocean” was created to mark the company's 10th anniversary and premiered in Taipei in 1997. It has been staged in more than 120 performances in over 20 countries, and was rated as the best art show by the Avignon Theatre Festival in 1998.
