​ Lin Lu-chieh

Lin Lu-chieh (Yilan, Taiwan) is an award-winning contemporary theatre artist, magician, and the Artistic Director of Lu Production. Based in Taipei, he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre at National Taiwan University and serves as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Taipei. Holding a Master's degree in Theatre from NTU, his work explores magic as a conceptual and performative language that transcends spectacle.

​

His theatre solo works interweave illusion design, narrative structure, and personal memory, using magic to challenge stereotypes and evoke poetic reflections on reality. Lin extends magic beyond traditional theatre—into streets, alternative venues, and screen-based media—investigating the uncanny as both a visual and psychological trigger. His creations emphasize the architecture of storytelling, where magic drives dramatic rhythm and deepens meaning.

In 2026, he will become the first Taiwanese performer in the 74 years history of the Blackpool Magic Convention, the world's largest magic festival, to be invited to present a full one-man show.

林陸傑，成長於臺灣宜蘭，拾陸製作藝術總監、臺北市立大學兼任講師。臺灣大學戲劇碩士，現攻讀臺大戲劇博士班。長期以魔術作為創作媒介與藝術實踐的核心，於當代劇場中發展出獨具一格的魔術劇場形式。其作品融合幻術與敘事，經常由個人生命經驗出發，拆解、深究魔術本質，顛覆其既有的娛樂印象。林陸傑不滿足於追求感官的欺瞞，將魔術實驗性地拓展至劇場、非典型空間與影像創作中，致力於挖掘該技藝背後的敘事動能；以此作為觀照世界的支點，去回應並描繪宏大的生命命題與當代事件，已魔術的特性勾勒出真實世界的複雜樣貌與深刻連結。除了創作與演出外，亦活躍於跨域合作與藝術教育現場，擔任影像/劇場魔術指導，跨足演員訓練和工作坊，深化魔術在當代表演藝術中的創作潛能。

​

其魔術劇場作品與研究曾獲多項獎助支持，如2018雲門流浪者計畫、2019國家兩廳院藝術基地駐館成員、2020/21國家兩廳院新點子實驗場R&D、2023亞洲文化推廣聯盟國際徵件最佳人氣獎、2024序場劇本發展中心年度藝術家、2024國藝會海外藝遊專案、2025國藝會新人新視野專案、2025愛丁堡藝穗節戲劇獎、2025/26英國愛丁堡藝穗節文化部臺灣季代表團隊、2025教育部青年百億海外圓夢計畫、2026法國國家馬戲藝術中心研究資助計劃。

 

其作品《年少時光》獲2024年牯嶺街小劇場年度節目優選獎後，改編為《Dazed and Confused》於2025年愛丁堡藝穗節亮相，迅速得到多家英國劇場媒體如Broadway Baby、Scottish Field、Ed Festival Magazine等劇評高讚譽，啟動國際連結，如2026年布拉格藝穗節，以及受邀前往2026年全球最大規模英國黑池魔術大會（Blackpool Magic Convention），成為該活動74年來，首位演出單人專場（one man show）的臺灣魔術藝術家，並受邀舉辦國際研習會，與來自世界各地數千位魔術師、藝術家、劇院經理人分享於臺灣當代劇場的創作經驗。《Dazed and Confused》持續巡演，已在英國、臺灣、捷克等國八座城市上演超過50場次。

 

近年作品包括：《錯誤（的）引導》、《年少時光》、《Role Play》、《生日派對》等，創作風格深具個人辨識度，持續於劇場創作中開展魔術作為藝術思辨工具的可能性。
