Milingan Theater Introduction
"Miling'an" means "to tell stories" in the Paiwan language. It embodies the mythical spirit of mutual affection between indigenous ancestral spirits, land, and people, hinting at the importance of humility, cherishing blessings, and protecting the land for today's humanity. Miling'an is not a single performance; each show, whether in spirit or substance, serves as a connection between the past and the present. People from the Paiwan tribe, along with their songs and language, continuously internalize ancestral wisdom and life stories, linking them to modern societal thinking and issues, allowing the stories of this land to be told and sung across generations. Led by Paiwan soul singer Ruis and producer Hu Jian, Ruis is the winner of the Best Vocal Award in the traditional and arts category at the 15th Golden Melody Awards. The theater company has long operated the "Miling'an Musical Theater" in the Xindian area, integrating performing arts with indigenous culture. The "Miling'an Lakeside Musical" is regularly performed every Friday and Saturday at the Fullon Hotel Wulai (No. 3, Dike, Wulai District, New Taipei City).
