Shapes and Forms SHAPE-RESHAPE
SHAPE is the form, the most basic outline that constitutes the world; RESHAPE is continuous change, reorganization, and redefinition. We believe that the body is the most direct force for changing space.
The "On_Body Arts Festival" does not focus on "watching performances," but rather invites every participant to become a creator of changing spaces through movement, dance, circus, singing, installations, and public actions. Hualien Cultural and Creative Industries Park will be reshaped into a living body community where people can wander, stay, participate, and consume.

2026 On_Body Arts Festival - FOCASA Circus "The Magical Forest"
[Program Introduction] Why is the forest asleep? Who has shrouded the lush greenery in darkness? Come with us, follow the light, and awaken this magical forest!
⸻
Two explorers arrive at a vibrant forest. Here, flowers dance, vines sway, and the creatures of the forest perform daily. The entire forest is like an unending celebration. One of the explorers discovers that the forest’s vitality comes from a mysterious energy. And he decides to steal this light energy… At the moment the energy is taken – the light extinguishes, plants wither, creatures fall one by one, and the entire forest falls into a deep sleep. The other explorer decides to stay, using courage and wisdom to awaken the sleeping creatures, and gradually restore the forest’s lost vitality. And the explorer who stole the energy will reappear… This time, can the forest reawaken?

2026 On_Body Arts Festival - Mimofatguy "Operation: Love to Make a Fool of Oneself"
[Program Introduction] Can love truly lead people to the utopia they yearn for?
"Operation: Love to Make a Fool of Oneself" revolves around a typical yet absurd story: a wild and unrestrained clown plays around, meets the one-in-a-million heroine, and risks everything to win her affection. Mimofatguy, with the image of a lecherous, willful, vulgar, and rogue clown, uses an old-fashioned date as a prelude to lead the audience through a romantic rhapsody interwoven with old songs, old-fashioned clothing, and old-school romance.
[Performance Team] Director and Performer｜Mimofatguy
[About the Performance Team] For over a decade, starting from magic, in the unpredictable environment of street art, Mimofatguy has developed a unique and profound style, breaking away from the traditional clown image, creating an improvisational yet hilariously heartfelt individual clown.
Participating performances include: Focasa Circus Arts Festival, Zhubei Children's Arts Festival, Zhuangtou Theater - Sea Breeze Circus Festival, 2023 Creative Expo Taiwan Village 7 Circus Tent Performance, 2024 Summer Circus Festival Village 9 Circus Tent Performance.

Easy to buy and easy to redeem. After purchase, you need to exchange your ticket at the service desk on the same day before entering! The package is a great value, and the show is fantastic!
This was my first time seeing such an amazing FOCASA circus performance in Hualien! Absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 The Body Art Festival events were all incredible! I hope you'll have the chance to come back and perform in Hualien again 🥰
A delightful show that both adults and children enjoyed together. The fun performance time always flies by, leaving you wanting more. Support small circuses! 🤡
The interactive activities were a hit with the kids. The circus performance was amazing, though sitting in the front row was a little scary - it was so close!
The circus performance was absolutely amazing! It's rare to have such a world-class show in Hualien, and purchasing tickets through Klook was smooth and very convenient!
The performance was great, but it was very hot in the areas without air conditioning. The spotlights were shining directly into my eyes, which was uncomfortable.
