This year marked the highly anticipated debut of this acclaimed international production in China, finally introducing Chinese audiences to its captivating storytelling.

Throughout the tour, members of the production engaged with local Chinese audiences. For instance, during their visit to Chengdu, Sichuan province, the creative team attended performances by a local puppetry troupe. In Guangzhou, artists from China and the UK exchanged ideas on traditional Chinese puppetry and the evolution of contemporary puppetry in the West.
