One of the most vivid and unique forms of performance to be found in Taiwan is at risk of vanishing altogether. Taiwan's traditionally colorful processions, coupled with energetic song and dance performances, are designed to celebrate the important milestones of life. The acts come equipped with massive stage trucks and elaborate floats, but as young people opt for more subdued, modern weddings and funerals, performers and business owners are having trouble continuing the spectacle. In this episode, we follow along with the last remnants of this beautiful but endangered art.
