Taiwan Acrobatic Troupe, as the representative of the Overseas Community Affairs Council, created Nostalgia for Taiwan for the 2024 Taiwanese Cultural Goodwill Mission of the National Day of R.O.C. (TAIWAN) tour. It performed first in Taiwan and toured in 10 cities of the US and Canada.

 

The program portrays the stories of early Taiwanese immigrants. In addition to native cultural customs, immigrants also brought various distinctive customs, creating Taiwan's unique multicultural landscape. This program features the essence of acrobatics and its distinctive techniques, combining drama, dance, and music, to present a large-scale interdisciplinary acrobatic performance. Songs in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, Cantonese, and indigenous languages tell stories that belong to Taiwan. The program further integrates acrobatics with Taiwan's unique temple fair formation performance culture, allowing overseas compatriots and foreign friends to feel the charm of Taiwan, delivering a stunning and heartwarming sound and light experience.
