Gang-a Tsui Theater was founded in 1993. Their name is homonymic with the place they reside in, meaning “mouth of the harbor.” Since 1998, for six consecutive years, they were chosen by the National Center for Traditional Arts to administer the Nanguan Heritage Program. They were also named as a Distinguished Group by the Council for Cultural Affairs. Currently, the theater group focuses on Nanguan music and Liyuan theater. Troup leader Zhou Yi-chang promotes the modernization of Nanguan, endeavoring to endow the traditional arts with a contemporary spirit. He also seeks out cooperation with theater masters from abroad. In 2006, their project Zhubun Elopes with the Ghost in cooperation with the Japanese troupe Tomoe Shizune & Hakutobo won the fifth Taixin Arts Award. In 2010, their workshop with Eugenio Barba opened up more possibilities of their performances.
