Michael Jackson–Back to the 80s demonstrated how the American culture had influenced Taiwan in depth, SMAP X SMAP–In love with the 90s, on the other hand, targets the post-colonization identification in Taiwan, demonstrated by the influence of various common culture from Japan. Languages used in the play come in a mixture of Japanese and Taiwanese with manga-style subtitling, scenes are filmed on-site with the background-extraction effect enabled by DIY stage settings to be assembled and disassembled on demand, all which point to the heterogeneous space and culture in our society. Geological factors behind natural disasters including the 1995 Kobe Earthquake in Japan and 1999 September 21 Earthquake in Taiwan were also found in the play, highlighting the fact that though on different islands, the two countries are connected by the same unstable seismic belt, while sharing a peppy, happy but fundamentally unstable era.
