Stone Matsu: Interactive Performance

Stone Mat­su is an inter­ac­tive per­for­mance inspired by Mat­su, Tai­wan’s revered sea god­dess and pro­tec­tor of trav­el­ers. Begin­ning at the north­west Gov­er­nors Island fer­ry dock, Hui-Ying Tsai leads par­tic­i­pants on a sym­bol­ic jour­ney across the Island to Tai­wanese Amer­i­can Arts Coun­cil’s his­toric house in Nolan Park. Through move­ment and col­lec­tive par­tic­i­pa­tion, the per­for­mance con­nects migra­tion, pro­tec­tion, mem­o­ry, and jour­neys between islands. Fol­low­ing the pro­ces­sion’s arrival in Nolan Park, vis­i­tors are invit­ed to stay for an after­noon of live music.

Tai­wanese Amer­i­can Arts Coun­cil is one of the 2026 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
