Bohemians in Taipei: The Life of Theatre

"Bohemians in Taipei: The Life of Theatre" documents a group of artists living in Taipei who have committed themselves to creating and performing theatre. Some are no longer young, but theatre work continues to incite their creativity. They are either out of work, working part-time, or have temporary jobs; but theatre is still the main thing in their lives. Theatre provides a minimal and unstable income, and their lifestyles are remarkably thirfty and frugal. But these financial shortcomings do not limit their theatrical ambitions.
