Fly Poor to the Moon｜Chung Ying Theatre Company Show Introduction

Questions not, just believe

Believe in the persistent voice in you

Four Shamshuipo-living, good-for-nothing scientists and a trust fund baby share a belief. Believe that one day, with low-tech, cheap parts and a Costco budget, they can hand build a rocket that will take them off this earth; believe that one day, all frustrations met before will turn into beautiful scenery; believe that one day, their belief will eventually come true.

To dream of exploring outer space in this concrete jungle makes them a laughingstock. Yet, who's to say that they cannot dream on? Who has the right to call others losers? Even so, why shouldn't losers have the right to pursue their beliefs!

They vow to endure the arduous journey of realising their beliefs with determination and full strength. Amid this journey, they learn that it may cost their lives to realise these beliefs. At that moment of truth, should they give up their beliefs or their lives?

A new venture by Chung Ying Theatre Company into an original local farce after The Last Bet of My Dead Aunt. The creative team works with playwright Szeto Wai-kin to create the unconventional sci-fi comedy farce Fly Poor to the Moon.
