2011 “Close to You” Festival

21 Oct. ~ 30 Oct., 2011
Shih-Da, Yong-Kang Str. & Eastern Area

The Puppet’s the Thing: Maximizing Intimacy and Making the Small Things Count

Intimacy is the concept that started it all. When distance becomes virtual, the chance to “get closer” becomes precious, as do the chances to witness intricate executions of tiny ideas, and to seek out unknown spaces with likeminded people. Close to You 2011 provides a relaxing theatre adventure, an autumnal journey which allows you to discover both creativity and unexpected nooks of the city.
