About Sun Son Theatre

Founded in 1998, Sun Son Theatre is a distinctive contemporary theatre company renowned for integrating live music, physical movement, and drama. The company's name reflects its core artistic philosophy: the dual focus on "Body" (Shen1) and "Sound" (Sheng1). Emphasising collective creation, Sun Son Theatre draws inspiration from diverse traditional arts, reimagining them for the modern stage. Their productions are a unique blend of world musical instruments, chanting, puppetry, and multimedia animation, characterized by performers who seamlessly transition between the roles of actor, dancer, and musician. 
 

Central to the company's identity is its cross-cultural foundation. Co-founder Leonson NG Chong Leong, originally from Sabah, Malaysia, shaped the company's spirit from its earliest days, and the core ensemble has long included both Taiwanese artists and Malaysian performers based in Taiwan. Leonson NG passed away in 2021 following a traffic accident; his vision and presence remain woven into the fabric of the company's work.

Over the years, Sun Son Theatre has continually expanded its artistic and stylistic range, pushing the boundaries of interdisciplinary performance. Its innovative approach has earned the company recognition as a “Taiwan Top” Performing Arts Group, alongside the distinction of “Best Performing Arts Group” in 2025.
