"My apprentice is AI-3."
“Xie Shen Opens the MIC” Comes to YunTai Performance Hall in March
Taipei Quyi Troupe Presents a Diverse Feast of Quyi Performing Arts
National Yunlin University of Science and Technology will host the Taipei Quyi Troupe on March 21, 2026, at the YunTai Performance Hall for a special comedic performance, “Xie Shen Opens the MIC.” This lively show brings a variety of Quyi (traditional Chinese performing arts) styles to campus, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in the rich interplay of humor and linguistic artistry.
Centered on the art of storytelling and comedic performance, “Xie Shen Opens the MIC” combines modern xiangsheng (crosstalk), stand-up comedy, and manzai-style routines to explore the evolution of spoken-word Quyi across cultures and eras. Traditional phrases and forms are reinterpreted with contemporary humor, addressing themes such as social scams, technological developments, and observations on traditional culture. Through witty dialogue and fast-paced performances, the troupe highlights the versatility and relevance of Quyi in modern society, engaging audiences in laughter while appreciating the artistry of language.
The performance features renowned Taipei Quyi Troupe veterans Huang Yi-Hao, Hong Zi-Yan, and Song Ming-Han, alongside emerging performers Lin San-Bao and Liu Xu-Kang. This intergenerational ensemble blends experience with fresh perspectives, showcasing Quyi’s cross-generational and cross-cultural richness, and creating a high-energy “Open Mic” atmosphere on campus.
By presenting this national-level theater production, the university aims not only to bring high-quality performing arts to its campus but also to provide Yunlin’s local community and students with exposure to contemporary Quyi creations. The performance fosters appreciation of traditional spoken-word arts, encourages cultural connections with younger audiences, and supports arts education at the grassroots level.
