THE HEALING POWER OF ART
In an effort to help the victims of 2009's Typhoon Morokat, a performing group recently visited the worst-hit areas to put on a show that features innovative expressions of traditional aboriginal culture, trying to heal the emotional wounds of their audiences through the power of art.
This sorceress deep in the mountains is singing with a loud voice, sharing feelings of gratitude for tribe members.
It took 16 years to complete the Miling'an Musical Theater taking the ancient Paiwan culture to the big stage and integrating innovative physical dance and the power of primitive traditions. This music began from Typhoon Morakot as the theater group went to Pingtung disaster areas to perform before the ancestral spirits singing ancient tunes sung to comfort the hearts of the victims of this trauma.
Gradually the tribe allowed them to participate in the show, and find the source of the purest inspiration.
Many tribe members live in the deep mountains and to attend a full practice takes two or three hours.
Though it is hard work, each member is still willing to make the commitment.
They hope to mount the performance in the deep forest to reflect the original, most primitive inspiration for aboriginal culture.
