”Elephant Gym: More Real than Dreams“ Special Documentary Screening & Talk Session

“Elephant Gym：More Real than Dreams” Documentary

If dreams could come true, how much would you be willing to sacrifice?

Hailing from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Elephant Gym has been devoted to the genre of “math rock” since releasing their first EP in 2013. Their progressive and experimental style once raised concerns among friends and family: “Does anyone even listen to this kind of music?”

In 2023, Elephant Gym embarked on THE WORLD Tour, performing 60 shows across 23 countries. It was only then that Taiwanese audiences realized: Elephant Gym had already captured the hearts of a large global fanbase.

But behind the dazzling performances, what conflicts and struggles remained hidden from view?

This film documents the behind-the-scenes journey of Elephant Gym’s sibling duo — guitarist Tell Chang and bassist KT Chang — as they navigate the tension between being family and bandmates. It also follows drummer Tu Chia-Chin, who was forced to leave another band, and reveals how the group nearly disbanded just before their world tour.

How did Elephant Gym overcome these challenges and use their niche musical style to connect with audiences around the world? How did they introduce their homeland, Taiwan, to international fans?
We invite you to discover their story — on the big screen.
