Chen-Wei Kuo
Chen-Wei Kuo is a versatile theatre artist whose work is deeply rooted in social advocacy and personal metamorphosis. His recent focus has been primarily as a playwright, where he finds his most profound creative fulfillment.
Chen-Wei’s dramaturgy is characterized by a sharp focus on social issues, skillfully transmuting his own lived experiences into narratives that reflect the complexities of contemporary reality. His path to the stage was unconventional; originally trained in the culinary arts, he pivoted to theatre in 2010, a transition that has since defined his life's mission.
He has collaborated with a wide range of companies, including Showing (SHOW影劇團), Sun Son Theatre, Performosa Theatre, You Want Troupe (慾望劇團), Song Song Song Children's & Puppet Theatre, The Gluttons Assemblage, Grassing Theatre, and Assign Theatre.
Having spent his formative years moving between Wanli and Taoyuan under the care of his grandmother, Kuo brings a unique perspective on displacement and resilience to the Taiwanese stage, continuously dedicating himself to the transformative power of theatre.
