Gilded Balloon at Appleton Tower
Peanut Adventure
Peanut Adventure
This whimsical allegorical fairytale from China is about the world of
food. It follows a peanut’s fantastical journey to avoid its destiny of
being eaten, and so reflects the universal human experience of
struggling against fate. Through its adventures in the Delicious
Metropolis (the restaurant kitchen), the Food Refugee Camp (the leftover
bowl), and the Flavourless Hell (the garbage can), the peanut meets a
colourful cast of condiments! Along the way, it comes to realise the
truth: although death is unavoidable, it can be faced in a way that
brings inner peace. Performed in Chinese with English surtitles.
