A sublime trip along the river of life
U-Theatre has revived an iconic production from 2006 that was inspired by poems written by musical director Huang Chih-chun during a trip to India in 2001

On a September night 15 years ago I sat in the National Theater and was blown away by U-Theatre’s (優人神鼓)
River Journey (與你共舞).
One of my sisters sat next to me, and she still ranks the show as one of the all-time highlights of her stays in Taiwan.
As I, and many others, have said, one of the many benefits about being in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic is not only that theaters and other entertainment venues have been largely able to stay open this year, but local companies, unable to fulfil their international travel commitments, have had the time to revive or restage some of their classic works.
