Shero Returns

About the Performance

Night falls.
Fragrance overtakes.
The dormant awake.

Our stories. Our voices. Our stage!
Open-air theatre × An all-Taiwanese musical × A street food market
Rooted in the land, alive with the sounds of Taiwanese, and reimagined for today—a one-of-a-kind live theatre experience, Taiwan-style.

OUTLAW · JIANGHU · MUSIC · ROMANCE · KUNG FU · LAUGHTER
The legendary outlaw Ia-Lai-Hiong is back?! Hong-lai may look like the happiest town around—but overnight, all hell breaks loose. A band of ordinary people is swept into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, tangled romances, hidden schemes, and jianghu mayhem. When a legend returns, one question remains: Are heroes born—or can anyone rise to the occasion?

Golden Bough Theatre’s flagship production of the year — a wild martial-arts musical fantasy born from this island, bringing the energy of Taiwan’s traditional open-air theatre into the heart of the city. A homegrown Taiwanese original for all generations.
