Exhibition Introduction
A dazzling stage where stars gather
"Sapphire Cabaret" is a grand performance where people's true feelings are revealed. It "acts" out the lives of the people, and "sings" the emotions from the bottom of their hearts. Acting and singing together express the memories of a generation's youth.
By sorting out precious historical materials, preserving objects with a sense of the times, and replicating classic and gorgeous show costumes, you can see the glorious years and rise and fall of the Sapphire Cabaret, learn about the various interesting facts of the show, and feel the grand occasion of stars gathering.
Reproducing the Sapphire Grand Stage - The foundation of "acting"
The show host's threading of the needle makes the interlocking performances rich, varied, delicate, and interesting, filling the show with laughter and joy. This highlights the host's various skills of "speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing." "Speaking" uses easy-to-understand jokes to connect each performance; "imitating" uses cross-dressing and exaggerated imitations to deeply impress people; "teasing" uses self-deprecating mockery to make the audience laugh; and "singing" often improvises lyrics in different songs, creating classic parodies such as Chu Ko-liang's "Mountain South, Mountain North," bringing endless surprises to the audience.
These laughter and cheers weave together the special scenery of the cabaret show, let's count the sincere memories of youth at that time together.
From On Stage to Behind the Scenes - The charm of "singing"
Many brilliant "on stage" performances are closely related to the efforts "behind the scenes." Here, we turn our perspective from "on stage" to "behind the scenes," focusing on "singing" to showcase the dazzling and varied dances and the glorious moments of the singers, such as Lam Chung's dynamic and passionate performances, the unique voice of the jade girl singer Mei Dai, the glamorous and sexy Chen Mei-Feng, and the affectionate Hung Jung-hung. These show legends are unforgettable.
Gorgeous show costumes, yellowed photos, and in-depth interviews allow those beautiful years to remain in our hearts forever.
