Overview
Heroes of the Cosmic Union is a new-generation theatre experience that turns students from passive spectators into active “superheroes” on a space mission. Commander Tantan, commander-in-chief of the Cosmic Union, gives the missions from the screen; the characters on stage and the children in the hall work together to make the universe a better place to live.
What makes the show different is the four-element wristband every child receives at the entrance: fire, water, air and earth. Our own software triggers surprise missions, unexpected events and encounters with different planets in every show. The audience’s collective decisions directly shape the flow and timing on stage, so no show is ever the same as the last.
