The Chihshang Harvest Music Festival has entered its fourth year! The festival on November 3 (Saturday) from 15:00 to 16:30 will be held on Jinxin No. 3 Road in Chihshang Township, an area known as "Brown Highway" due to its appearance in a coffee commercial. With its unobstructed views—no utility poles in sight—and golden rice waves gently swaying in the breeze, it becomes a uniquely stunning natural stage. This year, U-Theatre has been invited to perform in the most natural, simple, and earth-connected way, allowing the sound of drums to ring out across the golden fields. Together with the audience, they celebrate and experience the genuine power born from this land.

Mountains and forests, as well as the land, have always been sources of inspiration and strength for U-Theatre’s creations. They walk to truly feel the connection between life and the earth, learn humility and the wisdom of the land through sowing seeds, and experience the joy and emotion of harvest during reaping. U-Theatre will present several classic masterpieces including “Great Drum,” “Gallop,” and “Cliff Crash,” allowing audiences to leave behind external distractions amid the powerful drumbeats and enter a tranquil natural world. These performances express the most perfect interaction and dialogue between humans, mountains, and rice fields.
