Taiwan's Avant-Garde theatre in the 90s attempted to substitute body performance for narrative-based drama. Encouraged by the emphasis upon the local subjectivity and influenced by the anthropology-based training method as to trace back the origin of body, this attempt developed into a collective search for the archetype of body, and the rendition of pre-expressivity became the common language among performers. This essay investigates how theatre practitioners negotiated cultures and established their own styles of archetypical body by translating, be it appropriate or not, Growtowski's Sourcing techniques. As a result, the (mis) readings of archetypical bodies not only generated different "facades", but also reflected the myths of the archetype of body from the multi-perspectives.
