Roaming Mei Wo · Radio Theater
Repetition and urgency fill our daily lives, as if we have no choice but to be.
Do you ever want to change?
Across the sea, the residents of Mei Wo are presenting another possibility – long-term insistence on developing agricultural networks, achieving a peaceful and indifferent environment, and staying true to their pursuits. In life, there is never more than one option.
Three stories of Mui Wo, the struggles and choices of the three protagonists, if it were you, how would you choose?
We invite you to set foot on this land, put on your headphones, and roam in Mei Wo with the footsteps of the protagonist of the radio drama. I hope this experience will bring new imagination and inspiration to your life.

Pottery Play – Mui Wo Clay Blind Box Trip
Each participant will receive a random blind box of local clay works (5 in total) and a map. Through this activity, we would like to invite you to imagine and a sea island connected by land. Follow the blind box map on the autumn road and walk through the shining blue seaside, listen to the wind, see the sea, and encounter the salty smell of the sea unexpectedly, all of which is only known when you set out.
Each blind box will have a small pottery made of “100% Mui Wo soil”, namely wind chimes, vases, flower pots, food utensils and clay colors, which correspond to the five senses: hearing and smell , touch, taste and vision. Follow the map that comes with the pottery box and find the route corresponding to different pottery to explore Mui Wo while restoring yourself. Highly recommended to take a one-man local trip.

The soil of Mui Wo contains characteristics, which becomes clay after treatment. We start by getting to know the soil of Mui Wo and this island and learn how to make pottery mud step by step from the “wild” soil collected from local farms. Read poetry together and dance on the mud. Make simple clay decorative works with your own hands and have a “farewell ceremony” with the finished products.
