With an aim of helping children learn more about local wild macaques and raising their awareness of environmental protection and respect for animals in an entertaining way, Fantasy Puppet Theatre will stage "Hairy the Little Macaque 2" in March. The audience will again get to see the lovely Hairy the little macaque during the show.
Hairy the little macaque and many other wild animals live happily in beautiful thick woodland. However, they are soon disturbed by humans who feed them illegally, leave rubbish behind and make too much noise. The ecosystem is being destroyed. Can Hairy and his buddies continue to live in this environment? The production will be performed in Cantonese. Details as follows:

Fantasy Puppet Theatre was founded in 2005 by three talented individuals from different backgrounds - a professional puppeteer from Taiwan, a local artist and a children's art educator. Their varied experience allowed the group to explore the possibilities of children's puppet theatre from different angles and enriched the content of their productions. The group is committed to producing puppet theatre work with spirit, style and imagination, thereby providing children with an entertaining mix of fact and fantasy in their childhood.
