2025 / 85′ / Putonghua / Chinese & English Subtitles

The Trio Hall is a satirical spectacle, drawing us into the orbit of two visual cultures at the ultimate crossroads of entertainment, escapism and ideology: the romances of the ‘Three Hall’ cinema of the 60s and 70s (made famous by Chiung Yao & Co) and the TV and variety shows of the 80s.

Originally conceived as a “cinematic exhibition” or “exhibition cinema” project at the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei in 2023, the first Taiwanese feature film to be exhibited, filmed, and produced in a museum setting. Blurring the boundaries of artistic mediums and genres, this eccentric work combines variety-show aesthetics with feature-film storytelling.
