Two mischievous siblings stumble across a magical bicycle that takes them on an intriguing journey. Inside a weirdlooking mansion, where an equally strange author leads a reclusive life, the pair discovers many treasures. As their adventure continues, they next encounter an unfortunate girl named Sophia ...
Based on American writer and illustrator Edward Gorey's The Epiplectic Bicycle and The Hapless Child, the bicycle creates a whole new world where characters from the two works meet. A delightful set, beautifully crafted puppetry, and live music conjure up an unusual and wonderfully poetic tale.
The 60-year-old Puppet Theater Hitomi-za last visited Hong Kong in 2001 when it delighted many with its production of GeGeGe No Kitaro. The troupe's return promises to bring more joy to young audiences.
