A dance performance that retells a French choreographer's three-decade career through live narration, archive images and re-enacted movement, performed by a local dancer in Mandarin. It is part of a dance festival at Shulin Arts Center, where festival crowds make for easy conversation in the foyer.
The national film institute screens Ridley Scott's 1991 road movie Thelma & Louise, in English with Chinese subtitles, rated for adults. Cinémathèque screenings attract film lovers, and the lobby before and after is a good place to swap impressions.
A digitally restored screening of Theo Angelopoulos's Landscape in the Mist in the TFAI autumn film series. The ticket page lists 220 TWD; a film-institute cinema crowd is the kind that stays to talk.
The Rainbow City Wind Band presents its annual concert, Da Capo, at the Xinzhuang arts centre in New Taipei. Community band concerts have a warm, informal audience that is easy to join alone; check the listing for ticket details.
An evening concert of the VoxUnity International Choral Festival at the New Taipei City Arts Center in Banqiao, scheduled from 19:30 to 21:30. Tickets are sold through OPENTIX; the price is not shown on the listing. Choral festivals draw a warm, chatty crowd, so it is an easy night out on your own.
In this postponed session of the 'Come Learn at Cloud Gate' talks, Cloud Gate founder Lin Hwai-min and writer and broadcaster Ma Shih-fang look back at the 1970s, a decade of words, songs and dance asking who we are. Tickets are sold through OPENTIX; the price is not shown on the listing. A talk at the theatre in Tamsui is a calm solo afternoon with a thoughtful crowd.
