Set on a small island, this fun and word-free family show uses ingenious puppetry, nimble physical theatre and magical shadow play to chart the budding friendship between a lonely old man and a naughty little boy.

One’s brimming with curiosity, the other’s stuck in routine. But, lured by an elusive sea mammal, together they embark on a voyage of discovery, hope, and renewal. This charming intergenerational tale is an endearing treat for all ages. European premiere.

About S. Production

Founded in 2020 in Pingtung, Taiwan, S. Production is led by three National University of Tainan drama graduates. They combine directing, acting, and music to create innovative theater that engages local communities and explores social issues. Using unconventional spaces and forms like puppetry and physical theater, they share Taiwan’s stories with a global perspective, making theater accessible and inspiring for all ages.
