About

由印尼傳統布袋戲團 Siauw Pek San 呈獻,本劇講述印尼華人醫生 Dr. Oen Boen Ing 在印尼獨立革命時期,冒死拯救一位印尼將軍的真實故事。在被問及是否願意選擇中國國籍時,他堅定地說:「我要成為印尼人。」這段歷史不僅彰顯個人信念,也映照出身分認同、忠誠與國族建構的深刻命題。

融合華族傳統布袋戲語彙與印尼當代敘事手法,Siauw Pek San 以偶戲訴說歷史,用掌中小戲臺再現跨文化的情感選擇。

In a captivating 45-minute performance by Indonesia’s renowned puppet troupe Siauw Pek San, witness the true story of Dr. Oen Boen Ing—an intrepid medic whose courage on the battlefield of the Indonesian Revolution saved a high-ranking general’s life. Through masterful puppetry, the tale unfolds: from the chaos of war to the pivotal moment when Dr. Oen Boen Ing must choose between his Chinese heritage and his love for his adopted homeland. In a moving act of loyalty, he declares himself Indonesian, sealing his place in history.

Join us for an evening of drama, heroism, and cultural identity, brought to life with exquisite hand-carved puppets, traditional music, and timeless storytelling.
