In search of the true essence of dance
Taiwanese Indigenous music and dance are diverse; among them, the Pangcah group, the largest population,is particularly colorful in music and dance. However, there is no specific word for "dance" in the Pangcah language. But the Pangcah still perform lisin (commonly known as the Harvest Festival) in July and August every year, and people call the dance and music shown during the ritual "sakero."
The term "sakero" in the Pangcah language describes the body movement when performing the lisin ritual. It is also the term that the Pangcah generally believe is the closest to describing "dance." Therefore, through the perspective of "sakero," Kuo-Hsin Chuang Pangcah Dance Theatre explores the contemporary dance culture of the Pangcah people and its interpretive significance.

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
