Korea's long-running music theatre production "The Little Musician" sets off on adventure to save the frozen world (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

The International Arts Carnival (IAC), a summer arts festival organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, will present the music theatre production "The Little Musician" from August 7 to 9. Performed by Korea's GRANDIS Theatre and inspired by the theme of saving the frozen world, this uplifting show features lively acting, creative props and joyful live singing, taking audiences of all ages on a fantastical journey to find the sun and save the Earth.

     "The Little Musician" was selected at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe as one of the top three popular children's performances, and has captivated audiences in the United Kingdom, the Chinese Mainland, Uzbekistan and beyond. The long-running show has remained a favourite in Korea for a decade. The upcoming Hong Kong performances are upgraded with enhanced musical arrangements, lighting design and stage settings compared to the original production.

     The story follows the mysterious disappearance of the sun, plunging the Earth into darkness and extreme cold, gradually freezing humanity into ice. The main character, Mobichi, is determined to restore the sunlight. With her beloved recorder in hand, she sets off on a journey alongside her polar bear friend Kuku, meeting quirky new companions along the way. With the power of music, they sing and play instruments to overcome numerous challenges and gradually thaw the frozen world. However, just as hope seems within reach, a fierce snowstorm strikes and takes the sunlight away once again.

     The performers use superb vocal skills together with simple props to imitate animal sounds and everyday sound effects, creating a stage full of imagination. Bubble wrap becomes a frozen lake, inflatable plastic bags transform into ice blocks, and wooden boards turn into a glowing sun, showcasing boundless creativity. The beloved show is suitable for families, enabling audiences to rediscover the joy of play and imagination, while conveying a message of unity and hope.

     The music theatre production "The Little Musician" will be held at 7.30pm on August 7 and 8, and 3pm on August 9 at the Hong Kong City Hall Theatre. Tickets priced at $280 and $340 are now available at URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For telephone bookings, please call 3166 1288, or use the mobile ticketing app "URBTIX". The programme will be performed in English with Chinese and English surtitles.

     This year's IAC is presenting over 100 performances and related activities in July and August, bringing together artists from overseas, the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong for an exciting lineup of interactive, inspiring and family-friendly programmes, including acrobatics, dance, music, theatre and multimedia. There are also film screenings, library activities, parent-child workshops, an online programme and exhibitions.
