Since its launch in 2012, this year’s Treasure Hill Lantern Festival takes “The Lights Are Calling You Back” as its theme, incorporating new ideas from creators who have previously stayed or performed in the art village, and re-integrating the site’s unique terrain as a creative stage. For the first time, the festival features cross-disciplinary collaborations between artists from different fields. In addition to static displays, it also integrates music, theater, and dance to create one-of-a-kind works. The event runs from March 28 to April 26.

This year’s curatorial team has planned four major components: the opening performance, static installations, dynamic performances, and Treasure Home, ensuring that every visitor can thoroughly explore every corner. It also offers a nomadic perspective, allowing attendees to follow the artists’ trajectories into a mountain-city landscape on the urban fringe, experiencing the unique atmosphere of an artistic community coexisting within the hustle and bustle of city life.

The opening event invites 2012 Taipei Arts Award winner Chou Yu-Cheng and the Strawman Modern Dance Troupe to perform at a historical section of Treasure Hill. Chou Yu-Cheng will create a large-scale mosaic installation that performers will interact with, generating cross-disciplinary sparks. Chen Song-Chih, whose primary medium is spatial installation, uses recycled second-hand sleeves and special fabrics in various colors to construct a shining stage reminiscent of a theater. Dancer Yu Yan-Fang will perform live within the installation, echoing the theme of the environmental art festival... and other exhibits. The exhibition space will also extend to Taipei Artist Village, where artist Zhou Dong-Yen will contribute a cross-disciplinary installation. During the festival period, two performances integrating visual and performing arts will be held in the Baili Hall.
