The Secret Flower

Through the flowered path with stories that blossoms, we’ll bring you on a journey into the secret garden that touch your heart.
A painter who once drew the most beautiful landscape with his paintbrushes lost his family in an accident, and his painting was nothing but shades of gray since. One day, a messenger of flower broke into his withering world of black and white and led him to a secret garden. The painter traveled the magical forest as well as the world undersea, and was amazed by all the fascinating creatures. The puppet design fashions a lovely picture of fairy tale. The marionettes for those imaginary creatures are made with minimal materials to give their essential shapes, so that the puppeteers can be visible throughout the performance. This design gives the visual surprise of contrast, making the impression that the human bodies, like those marionettes, become a part of this incredible, fascinating metamorphosis. The music and the dance are equally mesmerizing, giving a feast of the most extraordinary visual and listening experience with all the exotic creatures and poetic images, that leads all of us to search inward for the secret flower inside our own hearts.
