episode two 二
LITTLE SHRIMP
“Saying goodbye is not the end
We will see each other again.”
A brave Little Shrimp with a big heart takes us on a musical adventure through the underwater (and underworld) to connect with friends, family, and ancestors on Qingming, the tomb-sweeping holiday.
Little Shrimp is devised and co-written by Nancy Tam, Derek Chan, Natalie Gan, Howard Dai, and Robyn Jacob.
