The Eight Immortals crossing the sea is a folklore that has fascinated the Chinese for hundreds of years. What kind of challenge to one‘s imagination would it be to create a ‘prequel’ for it, then? In Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra‘s new production, The Eight Immortals‘ Adventures Prequel, young casts have been recruited through audition to play the famous eight. Would the life of celestials be as happy and carefree as the youngsters think? And how many trials do they need to undergo, in terms of money, family, moral conscience etc., before they achieve eternal life and supernatural powers? Embedded in this contemporary interpretation of an age-old tale is the message to love the Earth so that humankind can live in harmony with Nature.
