The Blue BirdThe Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts

Once upon a time Tyltyl and Mytyl, the son and daughter of a poor woodcutter, are sent out by the Fairy Berylune to search the world for the Blue Bird of Happiness. She needs it to rescue her daughter. So the two children embark upon an adventurous journey to find the elusive Blue Bird. On the way they encounter a variety of crises - they have to face the dark night; meet again dead loved ones; overcome the challenges of trees and animals; and to understand the harsh cruelty of time. After almost a year they return to the home from which they set out and discover that everything has been a dream. And after so many adventures they find that the Blue Bird has been around all the time ... in their own backyard.
