Founded in 2001, Hong Kong Puppet and Shadow Art Center is dedicated to the continuous promotion and development of traditional puppetry art form.  It has established a distinctive artistic style by introducing innovative perspectives while preserving the tradition.  Focusing on puppet and shadow manipulation in particular, the Group gives nuanced performances and creates lifelike characters onstage.  Apart from appearing in film, television and advertisement productions, it actively promotes the traditional art form by collaborating with primary and secondary schools as well as universities in organising interest classes and forming performance teams.  The Group not only stages performances at shopping malls, schools and theme parks locally, but also tours its productions and exhibitions to different parts of the world.

Hong Kong Puppet and Shadow Art Center and young local composer Hippocrates Cheng co-created the touring performance for this programme.  The Group joins hands with music ensemble ‘Sync 5’ to perform the traditional puppetry play, with original compositions played by Chinese and Western instruments, showcasing the artistic skills of traditional Chinese puppetry.
