| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 戲劇學研究所 === 105 === In the wake of the Event––the 318 Movement, several theatrical productions that were staged in 2014 by members of Taiwan’s theatre community who are also avid participants of the Event. Productions like Representation of the Cherry Orchard (再現・櫻桃園, Zài Xiàn Yīng Táo Yuán), Rose-colored Country (玫瑰色的國, Méi Guī Sè De Guó), and Earth Project I (土地計劃首部曲, Tǔ Dì Jì Huà Shǒu Bù Qǔ) embodied 318’s ideals and shared its issues of concern, emphasized the importance of public issues over personal crises and displayed an acute awareness for social issues and injustices. This research proposes a novel term, “dramatic Evental response”, to illustrate their connection to the Event and dramatic theatre’s involvement in sustaining the Evental effect of 318. Through performance studies, this research examines the similarities between dramatic Evental responses, the Evental aspects of 318 that each responds to, and their positive significance besides reiterating 318’s discourse. From the analyses of the three Evental responses, we can detect three similar features: a potent activist characteristic, meta-theatricality, and subject consciousness.
