In 2017 the Taiwan Season returns to the Edinburgh Fringe for a fourth consecutive year with some of the best live performances being made on the island today. Drawn from an open call to practitioners of all art forms in Taiwan, and carefully curated by the key Fringe venues Dance Base and Summerhall, the season embraces dance, theatre and puppetry via a handful of engaging and uniquely individual shows.
