“Songs of the Lands” is about Taiwan history and showcases energetic performances from 16 young FOCA group members. There are four acts to the performance, namely: Seeing Taiwan, Taiwanese Giants, Turning Points of Taiwan, and Embracing Taiwan.
FOCA will present Taiwan’s history through music, dancing, and a circus performance. Channel 26 Fox is set to broadcast the show live and interview FOCA on Friday, according to the Ministry of Culture.
