Sheung Shui North District Town Hall | Unusual Andersen's by Hong Kong Theatre Works - North District Town Hall Venue Partnership Scheme

Description

'Very Fairy Tale·Andersen' A fantasy journey of love and A magical journey of watching.

"If imagination is a match, in the firelight, what do you most hope to see? "

The story unfolds a temporal dialogue with seven of Andersen's fairy tales from a family! Dad has been missing for 7 years, Mom has worked hard to raise three siblings, and their lives have coincidentally encountered Andersen's fairy tales. Ten actors wander through 'The Emperor's New Clothes', 'The Ugly Duckling', 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Red Shoes', 'The Shadow', 'She's Not Waste', and 'The Little Match Girl'. In the form of 'story theater' and 'play-within-a play', they are performed in contemporary Hong Kong, allowing the audience to appreciate the life philosophy within the stories and experience the growth and transformation along the way.
