About

This work was staged at the Brandenburg Gate during Festival of Lights Berlin 2026, where it won the 2nd Prize. It draws inspiration from the Grimm fairy tale The Bremen Town Musicians, and revolves around the competition theme Colour of Love. The donkey, dog, cat and rooster in the original tale are all ordinary outcasts abandoned by fate. They comfort and save one another as they set off on an adventurous journey. Instead of rigidly recreating fairy tale scenes, we adopt the adventure narrative and reimagine the four animals as a rock band. The design absorbs visual styles from classic bands including Queen, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, creating vivid and vibrant colours for the characters. The bond forged on this journey embodies love in its purest form. Four lonely souls heal and support each other. Brilliant light and colour set a warm tone to interpret the true meaning of love: to embrace those who are downcast, and march forward side by side. The sincere companionship between kindred spirits forms the most gorgeous colour in the world.
