A stunning 300-year cultural heritage not to be missed!
Originated from folk art, the ‘giant rod puppets’ of Sichuan province have a history of more than 300 years. Being one of the rare theatrical genres in the world, the puppets were inscribed onto the first batch of 'National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage' in 2006.
The programme brings together the best in mythology, history and folklore, told with amazing stunts such as fast change of face, tea drinking, flicking of long sleeves by life-size puppets. A highly entertaining show with dance and live Chinese music - definitely an eye-opener with the rich array of traditional Chinese arts!
The programme contains some singing in Sichuan dialect, with Chinese and English surtitles.
With post-performance talk on 29 Dec (Conducted in Putonghua)
The running time of each performance is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes without intermission.
Sichuan Huge Puppet Troupe boasts a superb team of puppet design artists, performers, dramatists and a wide-ranging repertoire, including Jade Lotus, Legend of White Snake, Floral Umbrella Dance, Quick Change of Face, Long Ribbon Dance, etc. It has won numerous awards including Best Repertory, Best Design, Best Scenography and Most Outstanding Performance at the National Showcase; Best Repertory in the 21st UNIMA Congress and World Puppetry Festival, and at the ‘Golden Lion Award - the 4th National Puppet Show’ in the Mainland. The troupe has toured to the US, the UK, Spain, Chile, the Philippines and Malaysia in recent years, including the performance in 2022 See You in Beijing at the closing ceremony for the PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games 2018.
