Community Cultural Ambassador 2026: Producer Works Theater 'Street Musical - The Loong Gate' Touring Performance

About this event

Set against the backdrop of a traditional Chinese family, this project explores inter-generational differences and clashes of values in the form of musical theatre. At the "De Ying Tong" martial arts hall, a written Chinese couplet meaning "Exercising firmness with gentleness, maintaining uprightness through precision. Mastering bodily currents and internal mechanism to gain overall control" has hung at the entrance for nearly half a century, bearing witness to the rise and decline of the martial arts trade. "Ah Chan", master of the hall, is facing a mid-life career crisis, struggling with the pressures of inheritance of ancestral enterprise, parental expectations, family burden, and an uncertain future. Should he hold on, let go, or transform? As traditions fade in the currents of time, what does "inheritance" truly mean? Preserving the ancient skills, or carrying on with the philosophy and opening up a new path? Join us to seek for a future direction for "De Ying Tong".

節目以傳統中國家庭為背景，透過音樂劇的形式，探討兩代人價值觀的差異和矛盾。武館「德英堂」門前掛着對聯「剛柔逼直分定寸，提流運制訂乾坤」，歷經近半世紀風雨，見證行業由盛轉衰。「亞燦」面對祖業傳承、父母期望、家庭負擔與中年事業危機，陷入人生交叉點。他該如何作出抉擇？堅持？放手？還是轉型？當傳統文化逐漸被時代洪流沖刷，所謂「傳承」，究竟是延續固有的技藝，還是承接思想，開拓新的方向？「德英堂」的未來，正等待大家一同尋覓答案。
