This dissertation examines the meaning and value of performance by exploring how performance enabled performers and audience to negotiate a given identity and to search for new self-definitions in the Cold War, during which the government in China and Taiwan strictly constructed peoples' imagination of a Chinese nation. Instead of treating performance as a consequence or representation of identity searching, I argue that performance is better understood as an on-going process of performing, seeing, (re)thinking, and negotiating the government's propaganda and individual's subjectivity. My main research method involves theoretically articulating the notion of homeland versus home. Conceptually, this study places performance on a schema intersected by two kinds of perspectives: a homeland circle that has specific boundary, and multiple home circles that have nonspecific dividing lines. By considering this model across historical time, I analyze the visual and aural sensations generated during the performance, and how the sensation guides the performers and audience member to affectively and conceptionally sense home and question homeland. In each chapter, I use a case study to demonstrate how performance inspires the performers and audience to transcend the existing frames and to rethink the mainstream values they have taken for granted. In summary, I conclude that the experience of sensing home through the performing and viewing process shows that performance embodies its value in raising questions and opening up alternatives rather than providing answers. The significance of this dissertation pushes the boundaries of Chinese performance studies by adding the performer and audiences' sensory engagement to the analysis. Therefore, this dissertation enriches the understanding of the sensory landscapes and the identity tensions in Cold War China and Taiwan.
