    "description_en": "In the Qing dynasty, people travelling between the walled city of Taipei and Guting village passed along Guling Street. In the Japanese period the area was named Sakuma-cho after the fifth Governor-General, Sakuma Samata. After Japan's defeat, Japanese residents being repatriated sold books, calligraphy and paintings here for money to take home, the beginnings of Guling Street's second-hand bookstalls. Later, people from mainland China who came to Taiwan followed their example and set up stalls selling second-hand books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Guling Street became known for old books. The name Guling replaced Sakuma-cho to remove its colonial associations. The theatre's main door faces north-west because the Japanese used the building for surveillance, watching the plain for possible threats, so it differs in layout from neighbouring buildings. The Nationalist government kept it in that role as a police station, a symbol of state power. After the Zhongzheng Second Police Precinct moved to Nanhai Road, the building became a small theatre venue for the arts. It contains an office and service desk, a publicity materials area, an experimental theatre, a detention room, a meeting room, an arts space, an audiovisual room and a rehearsal room. Various performances and events are held here, and it holds an important place in the history of small theatre in Taiwan.",
    "description_ko": "청나라 때 타이베이성과 구팅 마을(古亭庄)을 오가는 사람들은 구링제를 지났어요. 일본 통치 시기에는 제5대 총독 佐久間左馬太를 기려 이 일대를 佐久間町이라고 불렀어요. 일본이 패전한 뒤 본국으로 돌아가야 했던 일본인들이 이곳에서 책과 서화를 팔아 돈을 마련했는데, 이것이 구링제 헌책 노점의 시작이에요. 이후 중국 대륙에서 건너온 사람들도 이를 따라 헌책과 골동품, 서화를 파는 노점을 차렸고, 구링제는 헌책 거리로 이름이 났어요. 구링이라는 이름은 식민지 색채를 지우려고 佐久間町을 대신해 붙였어요. 극장 정문이 북서쪽을 향한 것은 일본인이 이 건물을 감시용으로 써서 평야에 나타날 수 있는 위협을 살폈기 때문이에요. 그래서 이웃 건물과 배치가 달라요. 국민정부도 이 건물을 경찰서로 계속 감시 역할에 썼고, 국가 권력의 상징이 됐어요. 중정 제2 경찰분국이 난하이루로 옮겨 간 뒤 건물은 소극장 공연장이 되어 예술 활동의 무대가 됐어요. 사무실과 안내 데스크, 홍보물 코너, 실험 극장, 유치장, 회의실, 예술 공간, 시청각실, 연습실이 있어요. 여러 공연과 행사가 열리고, 대만 소극장 역사에서 중요한 자리를 차지해요.",
    "description_ja": "清朝時代、台北城と古亭庄の間を行き来する人々は牯嶺街を通りました。日本統治時代には、第5代総督の佐久間左馬太にちなんで佐久間町と名付けられました。日本の敗戦後、引き揚げを余儀なくされた日本人がここで書籍や書画を売って帰国の資金にしたことが、牯嶺街の古本屋台の始まりです。その後、大陸から台湾に来た人々もこれにならって古本や骨董、書画を売る露店を開き、牯嶺街は古本で知られるようになりました。牯嶺という名は、植民地の色を取り除くために佐久間町に代えて付けられたものです。牯嶺街小劇場の正門が北西を向いているのは、日本人がこの建物を監視に使い、平野部に現れるかもしれない脅威を見張っていたためで、そのため周囲の建物とは造りが異なります。国民政府もこの建物に引き続き監視の役割を担わせ、警察署として国家権力の象徴としました。中正第二分局が南海路に移転したあと、建物は小劇場の公演の場となり、芸術文化活動に使われるようになりました。館内には事務室と受付、広報資料のコーナー、実験劇場、留置室、会議室、芸術文化スペース、視聴覚室、リハーサル室があります。さまざまな公演や催しが行われ、台湾の小劇場の歴史の中で重要な位置を占めています。",
