November 7-9. TAIPEI TAIWAN
Originating from the traditional East Asian “kongzhu,” the diabolo was introduced to Europe in the late 18th century, with the first recorded public competition held in France in 1907. In the 21st century, Asia has become the epicenter of diabolo innovation, with Taiwan taking the lead in developing structured competitions such as the PEH CUP(體健盃) International Acrobatics Festival, MOYOSTAGE, and the Asia Diabolo Championship launched in 2013. Countries like Japan and Malaysia have also hosted numerous large-scale international events, fostering cross-border exchange and unifying judging standards.In 2025, the first World Diabolo Contest will officially launch, co-initiated by Taiwan’s W.H.O. Theatre and the Japan Diabolo Association. This landmark event brings together years of community-driven growth in Asia to establish an open, fair, and international competitive platform—where top diabolo players from around the globe can gather, showcase their creativity and skills, and usher in a new chapter in the history of diabolo.扯鈴起源於東亞傳統空竹,18世紀末傳入歐洲,並於1907年在法國舉辦首場公開比賽。進入21世紀,亞洲成為技術創新的核心地區,台灣率先發展系統化賽事,如體健盃、MOYOSTAGE,以及2013年啟動的亞洲盃扯鈴錦標賽。日本、馬來西亞等地亦舉辦多場具國際規模的賽事,促進跨國交流與評分標準一致。2025年,由台灣虎劇團與日本扯鈴協會共同發起,首屆世界扯鈴大賽正式啟動,結合多年來亞洲社群推廣成果,建立公開、公平、國際化的競技平台,讓全球選手齊聚一堂,展現創意與實力,開啟扯鈴發展的新篇章。
