Invited to perform at the "58th La Biennale di Venezia", "2019 Weiwuying Opening Anniversary" and "2023 Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space". Performing work "Ten Lines of Poetry to NK", which was a double selected entry for "2022 WSD: World Stage Design". "A Song of Bamboo Hat Hill" was selected for inclusion in "2022 Taiwan Music Yearbook", and won the "2022 National Culture and Arts Foundation Taiwan Top". The accredited Neo-Classical Chamber Ensemble always upholds that music as its core outset. The creative concept of "borderless," under the long-term leadership of artistic director Cheryl CHEN Hsin-i, actively integrates the rich Taiwanese humanistic elements with the innovative vocabulary of contemporary performing arts and continues to develop new aesthetic forms of musical theater.
The Neo-Classical Chamber Ensemble's 2023 production "Soundscape Documentary Music Theatre-25's Cijin White Roses Chronicle", taken In 1973, the shipwreck accident of the ferry between Cijin and Kaohsiung export processing zone, the historical event that resulted in the tragic death of 25 young female laborers, was used as the subject of creation. Since Taiwan's economy was taking flight then, many young girls crossed the sea to the processing factory to earn money to help with their family income. Due to unwilling wages deducted because of being late, they all crowded onto an overloaded ferry and, unfortunately, shipwrecked, taking away these 25 abundant souls, it even evolved into "The Tomb of the Twenty-five Ladies of Cijin". The Neo-Classical Chamber Ensemble hopes, through this creation, to rename this event in the new century fifty years later, to try to make it possible to unbind and redefine all annotations.
