Theatre De La Sardine：The White Snake?! The Final Struggle of The Clowns
This is a troupe of four naive and blundering clowns which has never had a successful production and whose performances were either sparsely attended or very poorly staged.
Finally, the troupe is faced with a business crisis, and they are grappling with how to save the troupe’s fate. Then it occurs to the director: “Many theater companies would almost always have sold outs when they perform the classic play, The Legend of the White Snake, so let’s give it a go. Maybe we would get a full house and our ensemble would be saved!”
The clowns then set out on a decisive battle to challenge themselves to “mission impossible” by performing Peking Opera—the Mount Everest of the performing arts—a piece titled ‘The Legend of the White Snake’ to save the troupe’s life.
Time is fast approaching for the day of the premiere. Expecting a small audience, they even get the opening time wrong! The clowns, who unwittingly walk onto the stage, see a packed house, which leaves them terrified and totally disorientated! But they have to get ready for the show…
Will their attempts at risky endeavors be a disastrous flop, or will they end up surprisingly gracefully? Will the audience finally fall in love with them? Let’s find out in the theater!
