About the Program
“A rainbow is most beautiful against a blue sky. Oh, love! Our love is endless!”
We believe that every kind of love and every single life deserves to breathe freely. May everyone find the courage to face the world and a sense of belonging, from island to island.
This year, TAIWANfest presents a Queer & Gender Equity themed evening program. P!SCO kicks off the night, followed by drag queens and a DJ collective. Through music, stories, and dance, we celebrate love in all its forms and cheer for each of us bravely embracing our truest selves.
Formed in Taipei in 2010, P!SCO has been dubbed by fans as “the rock band that pushes physical endurance to the absolute limit.” In 2016, they were nominated for the Golden Indie Music Awards for Best Live Performance.
Their eclectic sound fuses rock, electronic, and classical elements, defying easy categorization. Non-stop performances keep the energy relentless, with no dull moments. At every show, they hang a rainbow flag onstage to show support for the LGBT community and marginalized groups.
Their 2019 single “Teary Eyes” depicts the pain of childhood bullying due to sexual orientation and questioning one’s identity; it racked up impressive streaming numbers online, solidifying their rainbow identity.

TAIWANfest Vancouver is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered here, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples of this land while we engage in meaningful conversations of culture and reconciliation.
