Your boss, to your surprise, is a goblin disguised in human form. Obedience means abandonment of humanity, while revolt will incur menacing peril to your life – what is your choice?
Memory can be downloaded, amended or deleted in the future world. But then why does he live with such preserved misery?
Amid the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, a flesh-eating General encounters a mysterious child in a forest – who will be victorious?
The Fairy Tales from the World of Chaos is a ground-breaking production that follows 2015’s The Bizarre Fairy Tales. Composed of three stories – Diligent Work, Collector and Hungry Ghost – the performance surveys serious issues concerning society and humanity, based on the framework of fairy tales. Blending callousness, sorrow and black humour, it is an extraordinary fairy tale narrative with exquisite music, fantastic stories and distinctive drawings that calls for contemplation.
Produced by Breakthrough Association, The Fairy Tales from the World of Chaos assembles talent from literary, theatrical and musical circles. Through this collaboration they are able to put their strengths into full play and generate new artistic momentum with an innovative mode of composition. The performance elevates to a higher degree the excellence of promising local artists.
Performed in Cantonese, no surtitles.
