Grave of the Fireflies

Theatre Space

World premiere of the first Cantonese musical based on Akiyuki Nosaka’s Grave of the Fireflies!
A moment of spark, for the eternity of light.

As B-29s hover above Japan during the final moments of the Second World War, 14- year-old Seita carries his younger sister Setsuko on his back to escape the turmoil. After much hardship, they find an abandoned shelter. But constant hunger weakens Setsuko, and Seita resorts to everything he can to save her. Even in their last moments together, he strives to protect her…

Theatre Space adapts Akiyuki Nosaka’s semi-autobiographical Grave of the Fireflies into a Cantonese musical. Creators Stoa Lau, Amos Wong, Cheung Fei-fan and Jacob Yu’s recasting of this classic tale will surely touch everyone’s heart.
