038
Exploring the true meaning of the Hualien people's bodily sensations and the definition of returning home.
“Am I a host or a guest? The longer I am away from home, the vaguer the definition.”Ipun Kanasaw, dancer.
Titled after the telephone area code for Hualien on Taiwan’s East coast, home of the indigenous Pangcah people, 038 asks, ‘Where is home? What is home?’ It’s in everyone’s heart, but what does it look like in one’s mind? Its call may exist in the imagination, but the body remains engaged in the frantic pace of modern life. Contemporary but underpinned by traditional spirit, 038 reflects the anxieties and uncertainties of returning in an emotional search for ourselves and our roots

In the context of "sakero," the simple bamboo pole object has multiple meanings Chang, Yi-Wen – Taishin Arts Award nominator
In "sakero," the bending and re-stepping steps break away from the original Pangcahilisin, and the movement forms and rhythms are deconstructed and reorganized into a cultural container.
Cheng, Yi-Fang – Critic of the Performing Arts Project
"sakero" has some clearly recognizable ritual movements, such as crossing hands in a circle,stomping, sliding, etc.
Wu, Si-Feng – Taishin Arts Award nominator
"sakero" is a remarkable dance work that introduces us to the life and death of a culture. Shi, Zhong-Shan - Dean, College of Indigenous Studies,National Dong Hwa University
