The Desperado of LongSing Street

Based on Chien-Tsang Hung’s life experience, it’s a play about disappearance and seeking.

The desperado is Hung’s father, who used to have a small factory manufacturing motor cases and then went bankrupt. LongSing Street is where Hung grew up and also where his father ran away due to his debts.

Under the pressure of facing the creditors, Hung needs to go out to find him. Through different objects, Hung reassembles the image of his missing father and rebuilds the era he belonged to 一 an era when Taiwan Economic Miracle started and ended.

In the end, the desperado dies, and Hung can never find him. What the son can retrieve are the objects his father leaves behind 一the debris of time.
