FAMILY TRIANGLE

Siblings, partners, a sperm donor, an expectant mother and a future uncle: Chien-Han and Ray, a lesbian couple, want to have a baby. Chien-Han suggests using her brother Wei-Yao’s sperm combined with her partner’s egg cell. In the documentary play FAMILY TRIANGLE, the identities of the three people involved are intertwined: when love takes on diverse forms, new ways of starting a family also emerge. This piece examines personal decisions that overlap with morality, the law and social norms, and redefines intimate relationships. The play unfolds like a road trip and takes a look at contemporary society, the limits and expectations surrounding the ethics of reproduction, family structures and love.        

Hung Chien-Han (she/her) is a theatre and performance artist based in Taipei and co-director of the artists’ collective Co-coism. She also currently a lecturer at the Theatre Department of the National Taipei University of the Arts. She works in formats like live exhibitions, lecture performances, participatory projects and scenography, and understands performance less as a fixed narrative form and more as a medium of perception.   

Hung Wei-Yao (he/him) studied acting at the Taipei National University of the Arts before he founded his own theatre company and started to work as a director and writer. He explores various forms of theatre – including lecture performance, participatory theatre and immersive theatre. In his work, he deliberately uses the scenography and bodies of the performers as narrative devices and creates a theatre aesthetic that is warm, abstract, chaotic and absurd at the same time.   

Ray Tseng (she/her/they) investigates the fluid relationships between light, space and time. She has worked at international art festivals as a lighting designer and technical manager. In 2025, she developed and performed her own piece for theatre, FAMILY TRIANGLE. Her artistic approach focuses on translating thematic concepts and sensual experiences into visual and auditory narratives and creating metaphoric works through reproduction and collage.
