Three Colours
The Macao Cultural Centre, under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents two family programmes to be staged this December and early January. Right before Christmas, Japanese Theatre Hikosen is bringing the puppet musical The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while the Norwich Puppet Theatre will be coming from England to celebrate New Year with Three Colours, a children’s play specially conceived for the little audience. Having toured through more than 20 countries, Theatre Hikosen is returning to Macao after an energetic string of previous performances, from Peter Pan to Treasure Island and the musical Chibi Maruko Chan. This time, the Japanese company will present The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a puppet musical based on the classic American tale. Dubbed in Cantonese with English subtitles, the show will take kids three years old and above into the magical world of Dorothy and friends through a colourful rendition of an eternal adventure that enchanted generations of little audiences and plenty of cultures around the world. The Norwich Puppet Theatre was founded in England where it has been producing original shows, workshops and various theatrical projects for over 35 years. Besides its extensive touring in UK, the troupe has been invited to perform in festivals around the world. This time, the company will be using the colours red, blue and green as a theme to present Three Colours, a performance merging projections, body movement and music, guiding kids two years old and above to discover the beauty of nature landscapes. CCM presents The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from December 23 to 25, 2016 (Friday to Sunday) at the Grand Auditorium. Three Colours will be staged from December 30, 2016 to January 1, 2017. Tickets will be available from October 30 at CCM’s box office and Macao Ticketing Network outlets at various prices and discounts.
