Six puppeteers from China's Fukien Hand Puppet Theatre toured to Australia with a repertoire of five plays, all dealing with the triumph of virtue and courage over evil and cunning. Eight performances only. The tour was orchestrated by Carrillo Gantner during one of his many trips to China in the late 1970s.
