During the late 19th century under the Japanese colonial period, Western influences sparked a movement in Taiwan's theater scene. Intellectuals, concerned about societal issues, initiated the "New Drama," aiming to replace outdated forms with fresh concepts of civilization. However, due to fledgling theatrical conditions and colonial interference, the movement couldn't mature.
 

The Taiwanese New Drama movement of that era can be likened to meteors in the night, struggling to shine amid Japanese colonialism. This exhibition gathers their stories, using immersive scenarios to recreate the cultural performance ambiance. It includes interactive installations, a journey through activists' experiences, and scenes from "The Castrated Rooster." This presentation traces their history, inviting audiences to explore Taiwan's New Drama wave during the Japanese colonial period – an era of ideals and romance.
