TaiwanPlus x Discovery  /  系列紀錄片  /  23min  /  2022

有東方的歌劇之稱的歌仔戲是台灣獨特的獻曲文化, 吸引了無數戲迷, 其中最具代表的就是有93年歷史的明華園。時代推進之下,明華園正面臨世代交替。節目將深入明華園的戲台內外,挖掘三段傳承故事:互為母女師徒的演員關係、夥伴關係的服裝管理師、以及情同兄弟的道具製作組。

Among all the traditional operatic forms prospering in Taiwan now, Taiwanese opera is the only one that originated in Taiwan, with roots found in the Lanyang Plains of Yilan in eastern Taiwan. It is a local theatrical form that evolved from the humming song that the farming folks of the Lanyang Plain used to sing during their leisure time over a century ago.

As time progresses, the Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group Theatre is facing a generational transition. This program will delve into the backstage and front-of-house of Ming Hwa Yuan, uncovering three stories of succession: the mother-daughter-like relationship between performers, the partnership of the costume management team, and the brotherly bond of the prop-making crew.
