The Double Theatre: The Way Back
Escaped from the rumbling battlefield, a boy with a dream of music followed the guitar strains lodged in his memory and embarked on his way home. As the merciless warfare displaced him, the boy has come of age yet shredded into pieces of limbs.
His right hand, which was still obsessed with the guitar, thus commenced searching for other scattered parts of his body.
Could the remerged body regain the sincere joy of loving music during his probing journey?
Centered around the theme of “finding oneself”, The Way Back deconstructed the various impressions we have established in our lives. Through the performers’ physical performance and the elements of puppets and objects, we hope to present audiences of all ages with the magical enchantment of theatre and together open up diverse imaginations of ourselves.
