Livelihood issues are never trivial. The quality of urban life is reflected in the daily matters of the people, especially clothing, food, housing, and transportation. These may seem insignificant, but they are extremely important to every citizen living in the city. Evaluating whether a city's design and planning are good or bad is often seen through the conditions of these basic units. As the saying goes, 'from one small clue one can see what is coming.' The quality of daily life is precisely the benchmark of our happiness index.
"What is 'Living'?" uses Playback Theatre to explore various aspects of urban space and habitation, rethinking the concept of "living" and inviting everyone to participate in the imagination and reconstruction of "community space."
Playback Theatre is an interactive, improvisational form of community theatre founded in 1975 by Americans Jonathan Fox, Jo Salas, and others. It combines elements of theatre, oral storytelling, and psychodrama, emphasizing audience-performer interaction, respect, and collaborative creation. During the performance, the conductor invites audience members to share their feelings, thoughts, and even personal real-life experiences on the spot. Actors and musicians then instantly play back the stories through drama and music. Playback Theatre values listening, inclusion, equality, and respect, advocating that every story is worth being shared and heard.
