Riverbed Theatre

Riverbed Theatre was founded in 1998 in Taipei, Taiwan. The company’s image-based, Total Theatre productions blur the boundaries between visual and performing arts. Critics have praised the organic, sculptural quality of Riverbed’s “subconscious” theatre, likening the performance to the best works of Samuel Beckett and David Lynch. Riverbed has staged over fifty original productions, including works at the Taiwan National Theatre, Asia Culture Center (Korea), Esplanade Studio Theatre (Singapore), Theatre de la Condition de Soies (France), Imaginale Figurentheater Festival (Germany), Kobe Arts Village Center (Center), and Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center (USA). They have been selected as one of the Taiwan Top Performing Arts Groups by the National Culture and Arts Foundation since 2011. Riverbed has also participated in exhibitions at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, Taiwan Museum of Art, Kaohsiung Museum of Art, and Eslite Gallery.
