Features

Taiwanese Opera Tone

Since the founder, Lin Taiping, was originally from a Taiwanese Opera troupe before transitioning to puppetry, the troupe's spoken lines have a strong Taiwanese Opera tone. Not only in puppeteering and positioning, but the spoken lines, script dialogue, singing style, and character vocal variations all bear traces of Taiwanese Opera. To maintain perfect vocal conditions, troupe members must constantly protect their throats and are even forbidden from smoking. Thanks to this admirable professional spirit, the puppetry is endowed with a new auditory layer, allowing the public to see the most spectacular performances.

Continuous Innovation

In addition to traditional martial arts, mythical, and historical themes, Taixingle actively creates plays with modern significance. For instance, collaborating with the government to launch "Family Glove Puppetry", creating cute, large-headed puppets so parents can bring their children to enjoy the show together, conveying great morals through small stories. Or incorporating current events into performances, such as having puppets dance to popular TikTok trends like the San Zhen dance and Mushroom Mushroom. They also frequently conduct live streams to interact with fans, creating resonance between traditional culture and the new generation.
