MORE MORE Paradise

By Les Petites Choses Production

Based in Taiwan, Les Petites Choses Production is a performing arts cooperative comprising 17 creators. It is dedicated to reinventing and creating value in contemporary art and culture. The troupe experiments with unconventional performance spaces through participatory art practices. By collaborating with the public, it aims to establish more sustainable support networks for the arts. In 2020, Les Petites Choses Production was chosen as the representative team for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Taiwan Season by the Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Section of the Taipei Representative Office in the UK. For three consecutive years, from 2021 to 2023, the troupe was honoured as Taipei City Performing Arts Group of the Year. In 2024, it was selected to represent Taiwan at the Taiwan Pavilion for the Paris Cultural Olympics. Later that year, they performed at the prestigious Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris as part of the Chaillot Experience of Taiwan Week.

More More Paradise originates from Paradise, a site-specific performance commissioned by the Songyanland Festival at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taiwan in 2023. The initial concept, conceived by visual artist Chuang Che-Wei, draws inspiration from ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’, the renowned triptych from the Dutch Renaissance by Hieronymus Bosch. Elements from the painting were brought to life through on-site installations, generative AI paintings, costumes and dance.
