Sharing Taiwan’s distinctiveness in Europe and beyond
Separately from the company’s promotional activities, Szu-Ya “Debby” Wang, the daughter of the company’s late founder Jacky Wang, is a musician who also shares a passion for Taiwan’s unique culture and bubble tea. She will star in a stage play titled “This Is Not an Embassy (Made in Taiwan)” that will show worldwide throughout 2024. Co-produced by Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne and the Taipei National Theatre and Concert Hall, the play aims to serve as a “portable sample” of Taiwan, its unique characteristics, and its cultural phenomena, including the significance of bubble tea in Taiwanese culture.
Continued Chen: “Each of our bubble tea products — every individual boba — is a little burst of Taiwanese culture, and we are thrilled that Ms. Wang is continuing this tradition while taking it a step further — into the cultural medium of theater.”
The first production will premiere at Haus der Berliner Festspiele in Berlin, Germany, from January 24 to 27, kicking off a tour of Europe and Asia throughout 2024.
