二崙鄉廖文和布袋戲團

Mr. Liao Wen-He began playing glove puppetry from a young age. His puppets are larger than usual, and the performances are lively and exquisite, with captivating storylines. He can change his voice to portray more than twenty different characters, which attracts large audiences to each performance. He has also been invited to participate in paid performances abroad, bringing Taiwan's traditional art to the international stage. The Liao Wen-He Puppet Troupe was established in 1976. In the past, when television was not yet widespread, theater troupes from all corners of the province could attract audiences by performing in theaters or outdoor stages. However, as television programs gained popularity, watching TV gradually became the main form of leisure for the public, leading to a significant loss of glove puppetry audiences. Despite the declining trend of puppetry, Liao Wen-He did not succumb to it. Instead, he invested heavily to reform glove puppetry, expanding the stage and purchasing additional performance equipment. He is dedicated to the art of puppetry, maintaining the most ancient traditional small wooden puppets while also creating the largest celestial puppet in the country and the biggest set, featuring a super large backdrop that is 100 feet wide. He continuously experiments with improving the performance style of glove puppetry.
