U-Theatre: 35 years bringing Eastern drumming and body training to the world stage.

In 1984, Liu left Taiwan and went to the United States to learn how to act from Jerzy Grotowski . On a ranch, Liu and other performers from all over the world trained day and night.

Liu Ruo-Yu returned to Taiwan and founded “U Theatre” in 1988, leading a group to experience the “Lake” project. By visiting masters from various places, they learned traditional skills from them, such as Tai Chi, drums, stilts, Taoist priests, etc. Through constant physical training,“U Theatre” had found an oriental performance method. Through meditation, drumming and martial arts, Liu’s training and performance methods were established, transforming from external forms to internal pursuits. In 1998, “U Theatre” performed on the world stage with“Sound Of The Ocean” at the Avignon Arts Festival in France.

Now that “U Theatre” has been through thirty years, where will “U Theatre” go next?
