Upstream news viewing troupe, literary and artistic welfare send non-stop! The new issue of the theater welfare time is coming, the upstream news theater troupe and Chongqing Maoguang Culture Communication Co., Ltd. invite you to enter the theater, on the evening of November 6, the children's stage play "Paddington Bear's Bear Home" invites you to watch for free!
As a well-known national treasure IP in the United Kingdom, since its birth in 1958, Paddington Bear has gained many "fans". Its story has been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 35 million copies worldwide, and has been selected as Amazon's "100 children's books to read in a lifetime", and its creator, Michael Bond, has been awarded the Order of Commander of the British Empire.
This is a polite, full of justice and sense of responsibility of the bear, although it will create a lot of trouble, but its optimistic and cheerful attitude, so that friends are reluctant to be angry with it. Now, paddington bears will come to Chongqing's stage for the first time after 63 years of birth, bringing new joy to the audience - on November 6, 15:30 and 19:30, the children's drama "Paddington Bears The Bear Is Home" will be performed twice at Chongqing Cathay Arts Center.
The play mainly tells the story of Paddington Bear who is kind enough to help, but the more he helps, the more he helps. In the play, Paddington Bear went to the neighbor's house to borrow candy to eat, saw the neighbor ready to greet the guest, so it helped the neighbor clean up the room, but after a busy period of time, the cake was overturned, the pipe burst, the vacuum cleaner was broken, at this time, the guest was coming... The seemingly simple plot highly restores the image of the bear in the novel and movie that "people are 'mean' and people love". The story of the bear is always full of healing warmth and kindness, with a different flavor of bear-style "British chicken soup".
The original intention of the stage play "Paddington Bear's Bear Home" is to produce a true parent-child family drama, so that parents and children can be healed and artistically influenced in the experience of watching the performance. At the beginning of June this year, the drama opened its Chinese premiere in Shanghai, and finally roamed to Chongqing after bringing happiness to audiences in Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Tianjin and other cities.
It is understood that the Chinese version of "Paddington Bear's Bear Home" is a "reproduction" and upgrade of the original version from the production team to the props, which not only retains the original flavor of Outer Broadway, but also completes the localization upgrade on this basis, closer to the Chinese audience. Most of the props in the play were made by the original company, and they crossed the ocean to China. The props are well-made and were nominated for the 2020 Critics Award for Best Muppet. In the performance, many "organs" were also set up to match the plot, presenting the surprises that followed for the audience on the spot.
It is worth mentioning that this performance was also introduced with the support of the British Consulate General in Chongqing and other institutions, and the organizer specially invited some children of Chuanmei Black, White and Gray Art to complete a 100-person painting screen, which will be presented to the representatives of the British Consulate at the performance site.
