One Player short Ensemble

Founded in 2003, One Player Short Ensemble (Taiwan) specializes in shuttling through the realistic or the impressionistic realms by manipulating magical elements. We constantly reincarnate the body, the object, and the puppetry in order to spark intense and passionate instants. Drawing inspiration from daily life, we further reflects on the relationship between individual and society.

Since 2012, One Player Short Ensemble has developed two major trends of creations—

“LAB Project”: we sees an actor’s body as a development center and traces back to the classical idea of “the Trinity” (Drama, Music, Dance) to explore the actor’s physicality nowadays. We have also developed several chapters of “Animal Becoming” and creates a map leading into the animal’s physicality.

“The Land Project”: we has created a storytelling theater inspired by folktales and oral histories. Through field research, We have transformed serious issues into light-hearted stories.
