World folk traditions come to a distinctly Taiwanese cultural setting at Renshou Temple, creating a unique encounter between Asia and Europe. The program features performing groups from Japan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Romania, each presenting traditions shaped by its own cultural heritage. Audiences will experience the distinctive character of Japanese performance, the vivid dance traditions of Sri Lanka, the vibrant rhythms of the Philippines’ Sidlakan Dance Company Inc., and the spirited Eastern European folk music and dance of Romania’s Ansamblul Folcloric Românașul UTCN. Set against the atmosphere of a Taiwanese temple, the evening brings different cultural traditions together in a lively celebration of folk arts.
