《偵探學》

Detective Deduction begins where most immersive works end. Audiences rise through it on a freight elevator that shakes and exhales smoke, ascending from the theater's loading dock into the stage itself. Theater has always been a machine. This work makes the Grand Theater of National Taichung Theater's infrastructure its primary creative material: freight lifts, acoustic shells, curtain lines, fly systems. The theater itself is the largest performer. Ten fictional detectives' rooms inhabit the theater's full spatial range. Each externalizes a distinct interior world — a laundry room where the dead gather at night; a void built from acoustic shells where visitors listen for their own echoes; hidden spaces revealed only as platforms descend. Each is revealed by the machinery— as if the spaces do the discovering. Without tasks or mysteries to solve, audiences become investigators of their own responses, memories, and associations—the search for what is real leads inward.
