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 Ying-
chuan.
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 Chia-
ming, 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 ten 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. He intended to introduce theater art to the public and at the same time advance the
cultural aesthetics.
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 theater as an total art, he
opened himself up to cooperate with artists from cross genres, such as dancers, filmmakers, symphony
orchestra, visual artists, academic acrobats, underground bands, music players and even DJ and VJ. By
breaking the boundary between art genres, Wang hoped to see through the blind spot on theatrical
creativity, and furthermore to explore different routes for artists to create together for a theater of new
meanings.
As a director and playwright in Chinese, Wang has his works mostly tour to places where Chinese is used.
Wang also worked for other productions as a producer or stage manager, which gave him the chances to
tour to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, Paris, Berlin, Macau, Busan, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, etc. 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-the life and death of Richard III》
Premiere :10th April 2015
2015 TIFA Taiwan International Festival of Arts
“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 Chia-ming 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?”

《SMAP X SMAP – in love with the 90’s》
Premiere :4th September 2013
2013 Taipei Arts Festival
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
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 missile-
like 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.
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 playwright-
director employ to compose this music theatre mixing love and murder together.

Once, Upon Hearing the Skin Tone
《Tsen, 。》
The 6th Taishin Arts Awards 「Jury’s Special Award」
2007 National Theater Innovation Series
This is a piece discusses the love condition of human being. The name of the play originates from
Aristophanes’ comic script in Plato’s The Symposium. It is, he says, because in primal times people were
globular spheres who wheeled around like clowns doing cartwheels (190a). There were three sexes: the all
male, the all female, and the "androgynous," who was half man, half woman. The creatures tried to scale
the heights of heaven and planned to set upon the gods (190b-c). Zeus decided to cripple them by
chopping them in half and turned half their faces around and pulled the skin tight and stitched it up to
form the belly button. Ever since that time, people run around saying they are looking for their other half
because they are really trying to recover their primal nature. This is where the play extends from and
introduces the love chapter in Tsen, 。
The play is divided into five chapters: “Prologue of Encounter,” “Fugue of Vulgarness,” “The Ocean of
Lust,” “Grown-up Fairytale,” “All About Love.” The chapters are introduced with music, not in a musical
performance or fragmentary music pieces, but to try to merge different formats and contents of life
experiences and form a unique sense of musical notes and space in a theatre.
The director bravely makes the performance in progress with the concept of “playback” such as reverse,
forward, slow-down, and repetition. Other musical approaches, similar to canon and counterpoint,
transform the stage into a music movement of space. Aside from the art form, the director furthers the
theme from “love” to “war” and “death” with a unique communication. It is a magical touch to lift the
sarcastic-toned performance up to an epic vision. The production creates an un-precedent criteria for
both the art form and in aesthetics
