No No Thought

About This Movie

No No Thought is a fascinating dive into the journey of LIU Ruo-yu, whose move from Taiwan to the U.S. in '84 set off a chain reaction in the arts. The documentary captures this unique blend of cultures, as LIU learns under GROTOWSKI and returns home to establish U Theatre. The pacing has this meditative quality, allowing the audience to absorb the various traditional skills they explore—like Tai Chi and Taoist rituals. The atmosphere feels rich, almost tactile, with authentic performances that convey the deep respect for these ancient practices. It’s like stepping into a world where the past and present intertwine; you really get a sense of the dedication and artistry involved.
