The stage illustrates a gay living on the island is same as in the closet.

BLUE ISLAND 99 is a Solo performance of contemporary, exciting multi-media, poetry composed. Giving a unique insight into Asian LGBT life.

For LGBT people born in Taiwan after 1990, face both a complicated political past and future. Do they accept society’s status quo, or abandon what they must accept in the pursuit of true identity.

All isolated together, coming out and sailing out to a future with uncertainty in a changing modern world.

“The multi media dimensions of footage, colour, soundtrack, language, dance, singing are an unrivaled blend of elegance. We haven’t seen gay culture like this in our stages before！”
-International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival

“ With the show’s creators stressing the complicated problems of being out in a country with both a complicated political past and an uncertain future, this gives us a unique insight into Asian LGBT+ life. ”
