🦆 "Who decides who I am?"
Ugly Duckling has been regarded as an outlier since childhood because of his different appearance. Facing exclusion and bullying from family and friends, Duckling decides to run away from home! In the vast world, he encounters even more bizarre people and matters, and embarks on an adventurous journey of self-discovery. In this challenging life course, what will make him a real winner of life in the end? Is it appearance? Family background? Bloodline? Or...
☄️ Creative Concept
The new performance by Rolling Puppet Alternative Theatre in our "Hello Grown-ups, Hello Kids" Series, is again inspired by legendary literature. This time we reinterpret Andersen's fairy tale The Ugly Duckling from a contemporary perspective. It challenges the definition of beauty and ugliness, liberates the fetters of appearance and identity, loosens racial stereotypes, and dares to be a unique Ugly... Swan?
Genre - Collective Art
The Rolling Puppet Alternative Theatre has successfully created a series of puppet characters popular both locally and abroad. This new puppet performance is based on the famous The Ugly Duckling published in 1843 by Hans Christian Andersen, the master of children's literature. Co-created with talented musicians, the performance lets you watch fascinating puppets at close range in the form of Puppet Cinema Theatre with real-time projection and amazing live music. The interactive format addresses "Grown-ups & Kids" on an equal footing, to watch the play and be amazed TOGETHER!
🎈 OUT! Coloane Art Festival 2022 will be held from March 19-27. More programs to be announced soon. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages!
