On Tour in Taiwan

The Arts Hour

Nikki Bedi is in Taipei to investigate how Taiwan’s reputation as one of the most progressive, inclusive places in Asia, is reflected in its arts scene and to explore the role the arts play in maintaining Taiwan's unique cultural identity. She is joined live on stage at The Red House in the Ximin (Shee MIN) district by award-winning film director Fiona Roan, revered dancer, choreographer and founder of the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre Lin Hwai-Min, a stand-up set from comedy pioneer Brian Tseng and writer, activist, and DJ Brian Hioe. And there’s live music from the Indigenous singer and pop musician Abao and from jazz-pop singer-songwriter 9M88. (Photo: Abao singing at The Red House. Credit: I-Hwa Cheng / BBC)
