「布袋戲與真人的演出沒有扞格，而且極美，是關於私人、性、政治暴力的好看故
事。」——作家林傳凱
★ 從尋父到尋母，一場高潮迭起的尋根之旅
★ 臺版《霸王別姬》6 名實力派演員撐起 36 個角色的震撼實力
相片跌出衣櫃，泛黃的影像是一對站在布袋戲棚邊的男女；女人抱著嬰兒，男人拿著兩隻布袋戲老虎。年逾半百的阿文，在養父的遺物中找到疑似生父的舊照片，別人的中年危機是諮商轉職子不教，他卻是跳上車，開啟一趟南北走透透的尋父之旅。地毯式的搜索與詢問，橫跨不同時期的臺灣土地故事，也如潘朵拉的盒子層層開啟，揭開深埋50年的祕密……
《父親母親》於2021 年首演即大獲好評，充滿細節的劇本溫柔包覆了白色恐怖與身分認同的嚴肅議題，更透過日治時期本土布袋戲的發展，寫實呼應殖民下臺灣人轉換身分求生存的過往。透過主角尋找生父母的過程，同時解鎖上一代家庭秘密、處理下一代的性別認同，縝密又出色的劇本，外加一票實力派演員的精采詮釋，展現強大的戲劇張力。
當觀眾隨著劇情笑淚交織之際，也能細細感受劇中每一具如布袋戲偶般被操縱的身體，如何堅強且勇敢地橫渡時代巨流，努力以自身的模樣活下去。

After finding an old photograph of his biological father among his adoptive father's
belongings, fifty-year-old A-Wen embarks on a journey across Taiwan to find the man.
Delving into a half-century of history and politics, A-Wen's search not only details the
evolution of Taiwan's glove puppet theater, but also depicts his personal evolution as he
solves the mystery of his biological father's identity while grappling with his son's sexual
orientation. Featuring a talented cast of six actors portraying thirty-six characters and
having received enthusiastic reviews last year, Father Mother is a surprise hit that cannot
be missed this summer!
Depicting moments from Taiwan's Japanese colonial period, its White Terror martial law
era under Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang regime, and the nation's 2018 same-sex marriage
referendum, Father Mother examines the relationship between and transformation of
national identity and self-identity through the context of budaixi, traditional Chinese
glove puppet theater, as it has evolved in Taiwan. Budaixi's adaptations to changing times
mirroring those of ordinary people trying to survive Taiwan's turbulent history, the play
unfolds a delicate yet brave story of the uniquely Taiwanese struggle for freedom of selfexpression
and social justice.
