野台戲 OUTDOOR OPERA
by 蘇姿伊 LUBY SU
Taiwan
野台戲是台灣民間常用來酬謝神明或是慶祝神明生日的一種方式,也是我孩童時代的記憶。即使現在我已經長大,每當看到廟宇前方有野台戲的演出,我總是會想像著眾神們加入演出並一起欣賞,而孩童時代的我則坐在台下跟著一起欣賞,整個情境既開心又熱鬧。
Taiwanese Outdoor Opera performance is a common way for people in Taiwan to show gratitude to the gods or to celebrate the gods’ birthdays. These performances are also a significant part of my childhood memories. Even now, as an adult, whenever I see an outdoor opera in front of a temple, I always imagine the gods joining in and enjoying the performance together. As a child, I would sit in the audience and enjoy the show along with them, the whole atmosphere being both joyful and lively.
