The Macau Cultural Centre, under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents “To the Moon”, a tender tale for children and their families to be staged this Easter in three shows at Macau Cultural Centre’s Small Auditorium, from April 2 - 4.
Brought by the Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre in collaboration with Spanish company Voilá Producciones, “To the Moon” displays a powerful combination of drama and animation. Cynthia Miranda directs the Chinese cast that gives shape to a magical story, filled with tenderness, fantasy and stage effects. Floating between stage acting and a projected world on set, the performance tells the story of Tara, a young girl who finds imagination and fantasy as a way of dealing with the loss of her dearest grandfather. The original Spanish version of this touching adventure has been played at numerous venues around the world, from the Off Festival in Avignon to other cities like Paris and Buenos Aires. This ground-breaking family show has now been adapted by the Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre, a company that is currently China’s largest professional producer of artistic entertainment and performances for younger audiences.
“To the Moon” will be staged in three shows performed in Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles. Tickets are available now at CCM’s box office and Macau Ticketing Network outlets. Given the current pandemic situation, patrons are required to wear a mask, present their health declaration and have their temperature monitored.
