Nezha: The Mad Qiankun Hoop
Author: Red Panda Theatre
Region: Shenzhen
The Qiankun Hoop, an ancient treasure of Nezha, is the externalization of his bad temper.Only when he learns to control his “temper” can the hoop be a lifesaver, rather than a murder weapon. For children, learning how to cope with bad emotions is also a vital lesson in their lives. From script-wright to characters’ concept. all came from the collective creation by the childrenin the workshops. After integrating, optimizing and polishing by the team, the children’s fantasies turned into this play. In addition, this puppet play is based on using and optimizing national intangible cultural heritage - rod puppet, and integration of modern wire teleportation, 3D modeling, 3D printing and other technologies to innovate the traditional art form. Hopefully all kids and parents would find their own unique way to control the “Qiankun Hoop” after watching it.
