A captivating Hong Kong musical blending fate, love, and longing in a serene forest setting. Produced by Sandy Ho, Dino Earl Diamantino Da Silva Granatin, and a talented ensemble, this poetic performance explores how chance encounters can change everything.
Amidst the tranquil embrace of a wooded haven, destiny intertwined the paths of two souls from contrasting worlds. Through three serendipitous encounters, their lives became bound by the invisible thread of longing, loss, and rediscovery. What began as coincidence unfolded into a poignant exploration of the human heart — a search for connection, courage, and the elusive beauty of emotion itself.
This original stage production brought together a talented and passionate creative team, weaving storytelling, music, and visual artistry into one evocative experience. Guided by producer and vocal coach Sandy Ho, the piece flourished under the musical vision of Dino Earl Diamantino Da Silva Granatin, whose dual role as playwright and musical director infused the performance with depth and sensitivity.
Under the direction of Chloe Sui Ngai Cheng, the narrative came alive with striking visual and emotional resonance, supported by thoughtful Cantonese language coaching from Melody, poetic lyrics by Roy Tam, and delicate illustration by a.C, which beautifully complemented the story’s atmosphere.
The talented cast — Vincci, Ramsey, Hailey, Amon, Cynthia Chang, Xavier, Dr. Kelvin Wong — delivered heartfelt performances that captured the audience’s imagination, drawing them into a world where fantasy and reality gently intertwined.
This production stood as a testament to collaboration across cultures and disciplines — a reflection of how art continues to bridge differences, awaken empathy, and remind us of our shared humanity.
