Tong Ziwei pointed out that this time the team cooperated with the Paper Windmill Village Art Truck Project to bring the "Heart of the Ocean" performance from the Bell Dance Theater, which combined the traditional bell pulling skills with theater and different forms of dance to create a new performance form. He said that allowing children to enjoy high-level performances in the community is an important step in promoting cultural equality and can also bring art closer to citizens' lives.
Tong Ziwei said that Bell Dance Theater is a well-known contemporary cross-border performing arts theater in Taiwan. With "bell pulling" as its core, it combines dance, gymnastics, vocal music, new circus and multimedia visual technology to create a unique "bell dance" performance form in the world. It has traveled to more than 30 countries around the world and performed more than 3,000 performances. He believes that watching such an international performance will be a great inspiration for children.
Tong Ziwei said that "Heart of the Ocean" allows children to see that a seemingly small interest can continue to expand and have greater possibilities as long as they dare to use their imagination. This is also the spirit he hopes to convey through the "Keelung 400 Children's Club": to allow children to explore the world easily and happily as they grow up, and to find their own passions in culture, art and sports.
Tong Ziwei finally said that there will be another "Keelung 400 Children's Concert" on the evening of September 18.
