Super Theater

From Urban Bricolage to Urban Regeneration

The Unique Urban Composition of Taiwan: In Taiwan, the religious spaces of temples in urban areas are intricately woven into daily life. "Sacred spaces" are either tightly compressed or hidden amidst the secular, while significant public areas of daily life, such as markets, weddings, funerals, celebrations, and and entertainment, densely converge around the temple courtyards/plazas. Temple spaces also often feature stages for performances and rituals dedicated to the deities. The relationship between temple plazas, urban public spaces, daily life, and theater forms the basis of my discussion.
