The only Taiwanese drama troupe invited to perform in 23 countries and 60 cities—including the National Theatre in the UK, Edinburgh  International Festival, Avignon Festival, and Lincoln Center Festival— the Contemporary Legend Theatre (multiple grants from 2005), under the leadership of Master WU Hsing-Kuo (ACC 2006) integrates Eastern techniques of jingju (Peking Opera) to perform Western classics from Shakespeare to Greek tragedy, Beckett, Kafka, and more, creating a unique world theatre style.

Commissioned by the 2024 Hong Kong Arts Festival, the Contemporary Legend Theatre’s latest production, Caesar’s Maze, is hailed as a  "leader" in the world of performing arts. It is scheduled to perform at the World Shakespeare Congress in Italy in 2026. This time, they are visiting New York to introduce their original works and demonstrate traditional performing techniques. Demonstrations will be provided by Po-Cheng CHU (ACC 2024).
