Built from thousands of interlaced poles, the work stands as a contemporary architectural structure and a living reminder of a cultural form that once defined community gatherings but is now seldom seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Theatre takes inspiration from bamboo stages that, until recent decades, were rapidly erected for opera performances and temple celebrations across Taiwan. Feng\u2019s structure echoes this ephemerality while translating it into an experiential space. The framework is composed of a strict vertical-horizontal grid of bamboo lengths, softened by split bamboo strips that trace sweeping arcs across the facade and ground plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>images courtesy of Cheng Tsung Feng<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">audience Becomes PerformeR in theater\u2019s Stage of Light<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visitors are invited to step inside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\"><strong>Taiwanese artist\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> installation by climbing bamboo stairways that lead to the broad central platform. Once within, they are enveloped by the transparent grid, where light filters through the slatted walls and floors, and the tactility of bamboo comes to the fore. In the daytime, the stage becomes a resting ground, a place to gather or to play. By night, lit by glowing festival lamps, the installation transforms into a ceremonial space that recalls the atmosphere of traditional opera performances with their color, spectacle, and sense of shared ritual.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As people move through Theatre, they oscillate between the roles of audience and performer, embodying the cyclical exchange at the heart of theater itself. Feng\u2019s project situates memory within lived experience, animating tradition through participation. Standing before the centuries-old Wenwu Temple, the bamboo theater draws in festival visitors and passersby, offering them a space to rest, play, or perform.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Cheng Tsung Feng completes Theatre in Taiwan<\/p>\n<p>a vast bamboo installation that reinterprets the disappearing tradition of temporary opera stages<\/p>\n<p>built from thousands of interlaced poles<\/p>\n<p>the work stands as a contemporary architectural structure<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the framework is composed of a strict vertical-horizontal grid of bamboo lengths<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>split bamboo strips trace sweeping arcs across the facade and ground plan<\/p>\n<p>visitors are invited to step inside the installation by climbing bamboo stairways<\/p>\n<p>the stairs lead to the broad central platform<\/p>\n<p>light filters through the slatted walls and floors<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the tactility of bamboo comes to the fore<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the stage becomes a resting ground, a place to gather or to play<\/p>\n<p>by night, lit by glowing festival lamps, the installation transforms into a ceremonial space<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>recalling the atmosphere of traditional opera performances<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Theatre<br \/>\n<strong>artist:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\">Cheng Tsung Feng<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location: <\/strong>Lukang, Changhua, Taiwan<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><em>DIY submissions<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><em>here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>edited by: thomai tsimpou | designboom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/woven-bamboo-poles-cheng-tsung-feng-large-scale-theatre-installation-taiwan-09-15-2025\/\">woven bamboo poles form cheng tsung feng\u2019s large-scale theatre installation in taiwan<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cheng tsung feng introduces bamboo installation in taiwan \u00a0 At the historic Wenwu Temple in Lukang, Changhua, artist Cheng Tsung Feng completes Theatre, a vast bamboo installation that reinterprets the disappearing tradition of temporary opera &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
