Recycling green living, eco-friendly tips… The concept of environmental protection has been around for a while, but do we truly understand it? Does it just mean saving water? Or using reusable tote bags?
Being eco-friendly is more than recycling. It’s a lifestyle, it’s an attitude! But in high-density Hong Kong, it may not be easy to take this wider view. Many families try to live more sustainably, only to find conflicts and problems arise. Can we ‘recycle’ relationships? Can we ‘save’ them too? Hong Kong Is Our Eco Home is a lively new trilingual musical that explores different perspectives on environmental protection, and its influence on relationships within local households.

By employing magic, puppetry, games and special effects to create a humorous and interactive performance, “MAN2BOY” reveals the secrets of three male generations.

As if by magic, two mime-artist puppeteers transform different parts of their bodies into a lively line-up of lovable characters.

Without words or complicated props, the parade of whimsical personalities takes to the stage to highlight the absurdities of daily life through pathos and laughter.

Following their first performance in 1989, Teatro Hugo& Ines went on to develop a captivating cast of humorous puppet characters, with its unique, heart-warming skits and imaginative ingenuity astonishing audiences in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Time to be amazed by the creative flexibility of the human body.
