Taiwan Traditional Theatre Center

The Taiwan Traditional Theatre Center is a performing arts facility in Shilin with a main theater, experimental theater, and exhibition spaces. The complex also houses a music institute and open areas designed for different artistic activities.

The center was completed in 2015 and opened to the public in 2016 following substantial investment and planning. The project grew from efforts to support and promote traditional performance arts in the region.

The stages host traditional Taiwanese performances throughout the year, showcasing different regional styles and artistic forms. Visitors can witness live expressions that hold meaning for local audiences and their cultural traditions.

The center sits within walking distance of Zhishan Station on the Taipei Metro system. The grounds are publicly accessible with plenty of space to explore the different performance halls and exhibition areas.

The building incorporates a 'one table, two chairs' architectural concept that draws from traditional Taiwanese performance spaces. This design approach creates a connection between contemporary construction and historical staging traditions.
