Highlights
Blending puppetry and narrative, this theatrical production explores human nature and the yearning for hope through the magical journey of 'Fo-chi-chi.' While the story feels like a fable, it deeply examines the dialectic between darkness and light, making it suitable for both families and fans of allegorical drama.
Program
Once upon a time, the world was monotone, colored only in black and white, until the sprite 'Fo-chi-chi' brought a spectrum of colors. However, as war broke out, little Annie's world faded back into darkness. Her beloved doll, Marie, embarks on an unknown adventure through endless books, searching for Fo-chi-chi to bring color back to Annie's life. This is not just a quest for color, but a warm allegory reminding us that 'if you are willing to believe, the light is always there.'
