Ancient Courtyard Theater

The Ancient Courtyard Theater was an ancient stage for local folk performances before the festival settled in. Stan Lai participated in its transformation. While preserving all the precious decorations, including the wood carvings, the theater was changed from outdoors to indoors, and it can host 200 to 300 people at the same time.

During this year's festival, three invited plays will be performed at the Ancient Courtyard -Three Comedies by Ding Xilin,If Silence Knew and JOAN.
