SWSG works_2008-2015 by Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group

Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group 莎士比亞的妹妹們的劇團 Founded in the summer of 1995, Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group owes its name to the fictional character in Virginia Woolf’s novel A Room of One’s Own, meaning to liberate women’s talents from the oppression of patriarchy. Limiting itself to no specific issues or conventional aesthetics, SWSG takes materials from all arts inspiring to create original theatrical works. Having been to Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Shanghai, Busan, Tokyo, Berlin, Singapore, Kobe, Paris, and New York, SWSG has been invited by various cities and countries to perform, and takes an important role in international city culture and artistic exchange for many years.

Most of the SWSG’s members started their partnership of staging theatrical productions in college years, who were then members from the Drama Club of National Taiwan University (NTU) and the Linear Theater Group, comprised of the students from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature of the Night School of NTU. Such partnership continued strongly after their graduation, and led to the birth of the SWSG in 1995 with its debut production A Boring Life, written and directed by its chief creative artist Wei Yingchuan. Having performed in various countries and cities since 1997, the SWSG has been to the 2nd International Experimental Theatre Festival Shanghai, Hong Kong Journey to the East festival 1998, 1999, and 2000, Little Asia Theatre Exchange Network 1998, 1999, and 2001, Festival of Vision Hong Kong – Berlin, The 2nd Girl Play Festival Hong Kong, Physical Theater 2003, etc. In 2008, the SWSG was invited for residency at the Robert Wilson Watermill Center, during which their installment / performance work was named as one of the Top 10 annual evening-party performance by New York Times, and their environmental theatre work

Plastic Holes was praised by Robert Wilson as being “lots of humor, poetic, surprising, touching, special way of listening, interesting way using the architecture, most importantly FUN!” The SWGS has now issued over forty theatrical works to date. Zodiac, written and directed by WANG Chiaming, was selected Top 10 in the 1st Taishin Performing Arts Awards. The 2007 production Tsen，。received a Top 10 Performing Arts nomination and Special Jury Award in the 6th Taishin Arts Awards. In 2008, Baboo’s directed work Hsu Yen-ling × Sylvia Plath and WANG Chia-ming’s directed work Listen to Me, Please~ Deluxe extended version were both nominated Top 10 in the 7th Taishin Performing Arts Awards, the former presented again in Avignon Off Festival, France in 2009. Director WANG Chia-ming’s Once, upon Hearing

the Skin Tone received first prize in the 8th Taishin Performing Arts Award.

Wang Chia-Ming / Artistic Director

Wang has been working on experimental theatre for more than twenty years, always keeping his creative works a fusion of tradition and innovation, a daring integration of popularity and avant-garde. His works are well-received by the general public without losing its critical power; experimental without becoming pompous claptraps. These years Wang was absorbed in probing the possibilities of new expressions on language, performance and audio/voice in theatre, which invoked fervent discussion from both positive and critical sides. To expand the limit of the empty space as well as to enrich the definition of theatre as a total art, he opened himself up to cooperate with artists from cross genres, such as dancers, filmmakers, symphony orchestra, visual artists, acrobats, pop singers, independent bands and even DJ and VJ. In addition to theatre, he also works as assistant director for commercial ads, director for music videos and fashion shows. In 2009, Wang was invited as opening show director for the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung.

《R3》 R3-The Life and Death of Richard III Premiere : 10th April 2015 2015 Taiwan International Festival of Arts Director: Chia-ming Wang

Truth is the Daughter of Time While History, A Distorted Face “But say, my lord, it were not register'd, Methinks the truth should live from age to age, As 'twere retail'd to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day.” --Richard III In 2012, a skeleton suspected to be the remains of King Richard III was found underneath a parking lot near a church in the Leicester city center. Later, it was confirmed by DNA tests that the skeletal remains were those of King Richard III, for centuries the most reviled of English monarchs. Through the description by Shakespeare, this deformed cripple has become the most infamous monarch in the English history and has even been described as a monster in fairytales, the destroyer of innocence, and the synonym of evil. However, historians and literary writers have been trying to rehabilitate the medieval king and to promote a more balanced view of Richard III. If history is a face, how could it be molded and reshaped? Director Wang Chia-ming, twice Taishin Arts Award winner, tries his hands on Shakespeare’s works for the third time after Titus Andronicus and Romeo & Juliet, and challenges Shakespeare’s history play,Richard III. By real-time recordings, onsite sound-dabbing, and putting men along with puppets on the same stage, Wang Chiaming aims to echo the contemporary politics in Taiwan with the history 400 years ago, exploring such questions as “What is history?” and “What is truth?”

R3-The Life and Death of Richard III

《SMAP X SMAP – in love with the 90’s》 Premiere :4th September 2013 2013 Taipei Arts Festival Director: Chia-ming Wang

Following Michael Jackson – Back to the 80s and Bluesy Lee – Welcome to the 70s, Wang Chia-ming, the Taishin Arts Award winning director and the Godfather of pop theatre, is adding SMAP X SMAP – In love with the 90s to his trilogy of popular culture. Our 90s, our march of happiness. But as we headed full-speed towards the final destination of happiness, the so-called happiness had long departed… “It wasn’t the era we lost, but the courage.”– AsunaroHakusho

In 2010, theatre director Wang Chia-ming fired up the popular culture and common phenomena of the 80s in Taiwan via Michael Jackson – Back to the 80s, the first of his pop culture trilogy, with the flashing energy of pop concerts and declarations of frenzied fans. Similarly themed in pop culture, SMAP X SMAP –

In love with the the 90s is a new production anchored in the 90s, aiming to explore the cultural mixture in Taiwan from the microscopic historical viewpoint.

Michael Jackson – Back to the 80s demonstrated how the American culture had influenced Taiwan in depth, SMAP X SMAP – In love with the 90s, on the other hand, targets the post-colonization identification in Taiwan, demonstrated by the influence of various common culture from Japan. Languages used in the play come in a mixture of Japanese and Taiwanese with manga-style subtitling, scenes are filmed on-site with the background-extraction effect enabled by DIY stage settings to be assembled and disassembled on demand, all which point to the heterogeneous space and culture in our society. Geological factors behind natural disasters including the 1995 Kobe Earthquake in Japan and 1999 September 21 Earthquake in Taiwan were also found in the play, highlighting the fact that though on different islands, the two countries are connected by the same unstable seismic belt, while sharing a peppy, happy but fundamentally unstable era.

《Michael Jackson-back to the 80’s》 Premiere: 19th August 2010 2010 Taipei Arts Festival Director: Chia-ming Wang

We scream and shout along with Michael Jackson’s songs and dance, we reminisce together… Once, we revered and worshipped recklessly; once, we depleted our passionate youth lavishly; once, the most righteous generation of the 80s. The very first stage performance based on pop culture and idol, a theatre builds in the scale of a live concert.

Michael Jackson, the superstar of Rock’n’Roll music, died on June 25, 2009. Suddenly, after the missilelike bombardment of news media, this has-been superstar, who has been frequently mocked, exploited, and studied by cultural analysts, studies has become a new immortal cultural legend. The three creators of

Michael Jackson-back to the 80’s in 2005 decided to restage this well-received and sold-out theatre in a new version under this new cultural atmosphere. In Michael Jackson-back to the 80’s, three of Michael’s most representative albums (Thriller in 1982,

Bad in 1987, and Dangerous in 1991) are selected as the core sections of the play. Starting from the memory of Michael and his symbolic meanings, the play attempts to interpret this cultural phenomenon from a Taiwanese point of view, bringing the audience back to the Taiwanese pop culture of the 80s through a collage of news events and elements of popular culture. The fragmental but sweet collective memory of the generation born in the 1970s towards the 80s are evoked by reenacting scenes from “Entertainment 100”, the legend of swordsman “Chu Liu Xiang”, the pop music group The Little Tigers, love soap operas of Chiung Yao, the bank robber Li Shike, the Olympic taekwondo gold medalist Chen Yi-An, the athlete Li Fu-en, Knight Rider’s car, and the Taiwan version of “We are the world”— “A better tomorrow”.

《Once, upon hearing the skin tone》 Premiere: 10th April 2009 The 8th Taishin Arts Award 2013 tour in Hong Kong art center. Director: Chia-ming Wang

A wall separates the audience on both sides; a tightly-strung plot and funny twist. The denouement only comes at the very end that takes everybody by surprise. I’m going to tell you a story about my murder----Eyes

Once, upon hearing the skin tone is a detective story with 12 characters. Its complex story line is full of love, mysterious murder, and imaginary realities. Rather than developing the suspension, the story presents scenes of seemingly ordinary life and the hidden connections among characters slowly reveal, like a complicated map showing endless loops of psychology, relationship, and desire among the 12 actors. In the end, those who kill and their accomplices are not punished by law. Life goes back to normal for them. Another cycle of life continues, so do more new romantic relationships and murders in this imaginary life full of violence. Through the use of symbols such as thin skins and retina, and through the alternating scenes of imaginary scenarios and realities, the play shapes this detective story as a philosophical parable. The play title “Skin” comes from Director Wang’s interpretation of the shallowness of love. In love, Wang discovers the element of shallow and further discusses the conflicts between negative emotions in the surface and the strong desire deep inside. Jealousy and envy between lovers, together with abnormal behaviors that eventually lead to murder, become elements in this detective story that the playwrightdirector employ to compose this music theatre mixing love and murder together.

Once, Upon Hearing the Skin Tone

《Listen to Me, Please~》 Premiere: 20th November 2008 The 7th Taishin Arts Awards—Performing Art Yearly Top 10 Director: Chia-ming Wang

“Listen to Me, Please~ is a tragedy built with langue, a story describes a love triangle in between two men and one women. The story entails affair, jealousy, sex, and memories, just like popular idol dramas. The lines are adapted from daily conversations and transformed into rhythmic, poetic, argumentative or artistic words to trifle with language. Beneath the seemingly romantic aroma, this is a comedy that actually ridicules the false atmosphere that love creates This is a comedy filled with langue performed by two actors and one actress; it includes vulgar elements like heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, cheating, jealousy, sex, and memory. Through the mimetic psychological realism, performers state their “real” feelings to one another as well as to the audience by means of language. Therefore, language contradicts language, questioning the reality of self and feelings constructed by language. Also, the anti-soap opera based on the form of soap opera lead the audience to reconsider the relationship among language, love and self. The tempo of verses vibrates with the performance, all together with the crystal lantern on the stage to establish the theatrical aesthetics of splendor and nihilism.

Baboo Liao/ Associate Director

Baboo was born in 1978 in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. He received his master’s degree in Direction from College of Theatre Art, Taipei National University of the Art. He is now editor of Performing Arts Reviews (PAR, Taipei) and director of many prestigious theatrical works. Baboo’s most specific characteristic as a director is the way literary themes are skilfully interwoven in his theatre, thus creating a very special sense of humour and an impression of estrangement that constitute his trademark. Baboo’s most recent works include: A Table Two Chairs and Show On (2012), Quartett von Heiner Müller (2010), Der Schönste Moment (2009), Hsu Yen-ling X Sylvia Plath (2008), One Hundred Years of Solitude (2006), The Book of Disquiet (2004), For Jorge Luis Borges, (2003).

Hsu Yen-ling X Sylvia Plath and Der Schönste Moment were both shortlisted for Best theatrical performances of the year by Taishin Arts Award in 2013. Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group received the Performing Arts Award in 2009 for Once, upon Hearing the Skin Tone and the Jury’s Special Award in 2007 for Tsen. In 2009, Hsu Yen-ling X Sylvia Plath was invited to perform in Festival Off d’Avignon. The Festival’s former chairman, Bernard Faivre d’Arcier, considered the play as “irreplaceable”. Up to today, this play is still held in high regard by many a curator all over the world and has been invited to tour several cities all over France.

《Absente-rendez-vous avec Sophie Calle》 Premiere :8th July 2013 2013 Avignon Off Festival Director: Baboo Liao

All that's been there, all that's been written And all that's to follow, we know by heart On we keep previewing, rehearsing, and, maneuvering So aptly and clumsily too. So indifferently With a contemptuously malicious smirk even As if in an obituary that forebodes a Love Failed efforts, laughable loves I am just too devastated by you, and by us All's a polyphonic song sung for the the bygones, for the absentees

As a tribute to Sylvia Plath the American poetess, SWSG’s Hsu Yen-lingX Sylvia Plath was staged in Avignon’s Off Festival back in 2009, gaining critical recognition from the media and Bernard Faivre d” Arcier, former chair of Festival d’Avignon, as well. He spoke of the production as “irreplaceable.” A French 2nd TV reporter described Hsu's performance as "an outburst of poetry," while critic Diane Vandermolina suggested that Hsu's acting was in truth a dangerous yet truthful presentation of her innermost strength that'd burn down the self unreservedly. The production, in actuality, has been invited to tour France many times since its French premiere. Director Baboo’s 2013 latest production Absente: rendez-vous avec Sophie Calle has once again been scheduled to premiere in Avignon’s Off Festival. This piece is inspired by Sophie Calle’s “Take Care of Yourself,” which deals profoundly with the pain that comes with the end of an affair. The director expertly transforms the exquisite pain into a collective treatment, having the narrative shuttle between the reality and the non-reality. The relationship of the seer and the seen is thus blurred. The play is in essence a monologue, an autobiographical novel, too, that depicts, reveals, re-presents, and reshapes the experiences that pertain exclusively to loving and being loved.

Absente: rendez-vous avec Sophie Calle

《Hsu Yen-ling X Sylvia Plath》 Premiere :18th April 2009 The 8th Taishin Arts Awards 2009 Avignon Off Festival Director: Baboo Liao The play was inspired by the American Confessional female poet Sylvia Plath’s life story (1932-1963) and works. Well-known for her unique poetry and tragic marriage, Plath suffered from severe depression all her life. The contradictory love and hatred to her father who deceased early, and the competitive and betraying relationships between her and her famed poet/husband Ted Hughes tortured Plath deeply during her lifetime and caused her suicide in London on February 11, 1963 when she was 30. The play “Hsu Yen-ling × Sylvia Plath” employs the contrast of Plath’s live story and her writings. It contains high level of experiment about the languages. Plath’s texts showcase unique styles and skills. Her world is filled with darkness and pain, without any salvation. The glimpse of joy, mock, or humor displayed infrequently is also bleedingly sharp. The languages Plath used are vivid, well articulated, and powerful. Her choice of words and configurations are weirdly imaginative, portraying unlimited freedom. She tries to observe her own suffering as an onlooker, employing her words with the precision of the knife in the surgeon’s hands, yet she gets stuck in the deep gulf of her inner and is unable to get out. The toand-fro between the lucidness and indulging develops her special viewpoints and inner orders.

Taking the life story and writings of Sylvia Plath as a point of departure, this piece probes the relationship between death and creative work. The script uses refined, poetic language and is full of deep philosophical examinations. The actors are extremely capable, and through a precise grasp of performance they turn the theater into a dense body space. A sloped stage adds to the expression of life's uneasiness. Different from earlier narrative dance, the director uses language, body and space to construct a poem from a symbolic system. Aside from formal aesthetics that leave one watching with a breathless gaze, this work is an experiment in the possibilities of the relationships of the writer, director and actors. ---Taishin Arts Awards Jury Lin Yu-Pin

Hsu Yen-ling X Sylvia Plath

《Four Items》 Premiere :19th December 2014 Director: Ying-chuan Wei, Chia-ming Wang, Baboo Liao, Yen-ling Hsu

In 2010, after 15 years filled with success in the performance world, Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group attempted to enter a new phase of their development. The four directors began to think about how they could combine their seemingly incompatible ideas to makes something new and fresh and yet stay true to the group's inherent spirit and style. In 2012 the group created a collaborative project as first in a new string of group works "A Table, 2 Chairs" directed by Wei Ying-chuan, Wang Chia-ming, Baboo, and Hsu Yen-ling. Tackling the same sorts of questions and topics, and each contributing their own skills and styles, they began to think of ideas for the piece. The limitation would bet hat on the stage there would only be a table and two chairs with two actors. The four directors each presented excerpts of their versions of the piece to explore the possibilities of this seemingly limited set. In 2014 they created a piece called "4 Items" in which "objects" were the topic of exploration. The director Wei Ying-chuan took the idea of the "bad thing" and developed it into a show including all sorts of media, combining video, music, installations and images to test each medium's interaction with the space around it. Wang Chia-ming bravely and for the first time created a piece “ Little” with elementary school students as actors to explore what it means to be "mature" in a world in which information and goods are so readily accessible. In the piece "One & One," the director Baboo attempts to bring to light our assumptions about the use and meaning of the objects around us by placing them in unusual, jarring environments and questions what it means for a thing to be "useless." Hsu Yen-ling, in the piece "Mouth," investigates the ability of household objects to speak, express themselves, and carry meaning.
