“Islanders 3” is a three-part live art experience created by a group of young Taiwanese artists to express their cultural identities through music, dance, karaoke, film and Taiwanese snacks.

This show was created by Taiwanese duo Chieh Hsiung and Yu-Wei Hsiao.  By combining western culture with Taiwanese pop culture from the 60s to 80s, they hope to increase the visibility of their home country.  Collaborating with other Taiwanese artists to merge their unique cultural elements, this dream has been made a reality.

The show begins with an immersive experience.  Modeled after the Taiwanese karaoke room, this sets the upbeat pace of anticipation. Improvised jazz music and dance from the iconic Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng. What follows is an intense and intimate film screening followed by a musical-dance performance reminiscent of the days of Saturday Night Fever. Throughout the show there is interactive narration with the feel of a live tv game show atmosphere.  Now, sit back and enjoy the show.
