The Puppet and Its Double Theater
Oscar Wilde: “The Selfish Giant”(excerpt version)


In an eternally frozen garden, the Giant must find a smile to thaw the frigid winter. Wilde's heartwarming fairy tale brings the most touching and splendid moments to the child within us all, whether young or grown.
Spring has arrived, with grasses soft as carpets, yet inside the Giant's garden, everything remains frozen and lifeless. The Giant wonders why the snow never leaves. Puppet & Its Double masterfully leads the audience into a magical forest, using exquisite puppetry to follow a poetic journey that inspires both vocal admiration from children and silent contemplation. The playfulness, curiosity, and joy of adults are also awakened. After their acclaimed production of The Happy Prince, Puppet & Its Double once again brilliantly showcases the glory of humanity expressed in Wilde's stories, demonstrating universal values that transcend time and borders.


◎ Suggested Age 5+ Years Old.

Flying Group Theatre La Disparition: rêverie sous I'arbre de mille ans

Lost objects may be found, but what if the beloved ones disappear?
According to the legend, the great hollow in a thousand-years-old tree was the entrance to the other world. 
One day, the sister took her brother into the tree. Inside the old tree hollow, they met the Dragon King and Grandmother Fox. “Death is a marriage to the land, from which a new life is born”, said Grandmother Fox. As they wander inside the great hollow within the tree, where will they be the final destination of their adventure?


◎ Suggested Age 3+ Years Old.
◎ In Mandarin with Chinese and English surtitles.
◎ Latecomers will not be admitted.
