Adapted from the globally bestselling philosophical novel with over 15 million copies sold, "Life of Pi" tells an unbelievable yet inspiring tale of survival under extreme circumstances.

Through a "dual narrative" design, the play juxtaposes a fantastical animal fable with harsh reality, compelling you to confront the complexity of human nature and reflect deeply on self-identity and the meaning of survival.

One of the highlights is the use of "puppetry" to present characters. The emotional depth conveyed through human-puppet interactions not only delivers a captivating performance but also showcases the artistry of puppetry.
