Renowned Czech puppetry company ALFA Theatre Pilsen will retell the legend of the masked sword-wielding vigilante Zorro to Hong Kong audiences via traditional Czech marionettes with live band music and vocals from December 29 to 31.

The Leisure & Cultural Services Department made the announcement and explained that Czech puppet theatre was inscribed on the representative list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2016. As the largest Czech puppetry company, ALFA Theatre Pilsen has undertaken over 100 tours to countries and regions around the world since 1970. 

The story is about the superhero Zorro rescuing young lady Isabella and her mother from a rampant captain. Czech puppeteers will skilfully manipulate puppets to create great action scenes, accompanied by Mexican live band music in Mariachi style, giving audiences a fast-paced and funny performance.

"Cheers!" Series: Zorro by ALFA Theatre Pilsen, which is the puppetry company's debut in Hong Kong, will be held at 8pm on December 29, at 3pm and 8pm on December 30, and at 3pm on December 31 at Cultural Centre’s Studio Theatre.
