The Nonsensemakers to stage "Travel with Mom" rerun in November (with photos)
*******************************************************

     Local arts group the Nonsensemakers will stage its acclaimed production "Travel with Mom" for the third time in November.

     Adapted from a real-life story, "Travel with Mom" is about a 74-year-old son embarking with his 99-year-old mother on an odyssey in China on a tricycle. The mother had dedicated her entire life to her son's welfare and had never set foot beyond her remote village. Seeing that his mother had toiled all her life and had now become so old that she was immobile, the son decided to travel with her to see the world. The son mounts the rickety tricycle that he built himself and chauffeurs his mother from northernmost Heilongjiang to southernmost Hainan Island, going from countryside to city, wide roads to rugged terrain, flat land to mountains and warm to cold in order to show his mother the beauty of different lands before the end of her life. The bittersweet and moving journey of the mother and her son lasts 900 days and covers 30,000 kilometres.

     The production is written by Cheung Fei-fan and directed by three-time Hong Kong Drama Awards nominee Chan Man-kong, who will perform with Ngai Yee-shan. The cast also includes Wong Siu-fai, Tai Chun-sang, Ng Fung-ming and Zhao Yiyi.
