Celebrate the end of the Year and the New Year with the Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival (KSAF)!
Entering its 13th year, the "Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival" has nearly 40 programs and 72 performances this year. In addition to the most popular venues such as National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, Dadong Arts Center, Jhihde Hall of the Kaohsiung Cultural Center, Kaohsiung Experimental Theater, and the KMFA Grassland, the 2022 Taiwan Lantern Festival exhibition venue and the newly-opened Kaohsiung Music Center will be added as venues. In response to the pandemic, international programs will be broadcast on online platforms. Despite various changes, artistic and cultural performances are still accessible to the audience.
After more than a year of intensive preparation, this year's "Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival" has a great lineup of various types of programs. In early February, there will be an environmental dance performance in the outdoor terrace area of Kaohsiung Music Center. At the Taiwan Lantern Festival, visitors can experience a dance of light and shadow, creating a map of light with steps. The blockbuster " Maritime Glow " is Taiwan's first light and shadow musical, performed at National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts outdoor plaza, one of the two main lighting areas. The play is set in Kaohsiung in the 1960s to depict the history and legends of the island and the happiness and love interwoven by the sea people.
The most anticipated grassland concert will be “That Light in Our Hearts”, which has not been performed on the grassland for many years. “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, which was canceled in 2019 due to the pandemic, will also be played again. The "Impact Taiwan II" grassland concert will be performed after 2016, and more nostalgic Taiwanese film music will be included in the repertoire. The unforgettable film and live performance by the Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra will bring many young and old music fans together under the stars and on the grassland.
In addition to the musical programs made by the two orchestras and performed by famous artists, there are also exquisite plays of KSAF and Taiwanese opera performances. The National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, still a partner of the KSAF, will present many wonderful programs this year and become a huge art forest for people who love theater and performing arts.
Don't forget to reserve time for your favorite programs. We wish you happiness and peace in the New Year. Let's meet at the theater!
