Hu-wei, Yunlin is the home of glove puppetry shows (Budaixi) where every year many puppet teams around the world are invited to perform in International Yunlin Puppet Theater Festival. The local puppet theaters need to strive for innovation and development amid the global keen competition and demands from contemporary audiences in watching their performance. Among which the innovative production by local team ''Mu-yi Puppet Theater'' was paid most attention in the festivals. In recent years, most studies of domestic puppet theaters have focused on PiLi Puppet Theater and less attention have been paid on other local teams. Therefore, the purposes of this study are: 1) To explore the establishment and operation of ''Mu-yi Puppet Theater'' ; 2) To explore the elements of local culture in the works of ''Mu-yi Puppet Theater'' and 3) To explore the elements of contemporary popularity in the works of ''Mu-yi Puppet Theater.'' Cutting into the issues from local and global cultural viewpoints, and through literature reviews, interviews and participant observation, the researcher deeply analyzed multi-cultural elements in its creative works. The study found that, in the opening ceremony of ''2016 Yunlin International Puppet Theater Festival'', the innovation combining puppeteer and dances of two works ''Invincible Might Generals'' and ''Gold and Silver Distinguished Two – Onmyouji'' were most eye-catching. Under the waves of globalization, based on Taiwanese local culture with preservation of traditional puppet-making techniques, they created puppets which integrated the cultures of local arts parades ''Eight Generals'' and Japanese anime Onmyuouji. The dance was combining the elements of the street dances and cosplay while the music was combining the traditional self-created repertoire and rock music that broke through traditional stereotype form of palmar-drama performance. They provided an experimental example of different aspect of development by cross-field combination of dance and puppet shows. The innovative performance has successfully attracted the younger group of audiences and thus promoted and continued the development and inheritance of local culture. |
