Synopsis:
The Prop Master’s Dream follows Rosa Cheng, a fearless artist determined to revive Cantonese Opera.Her boldest creation pays tribute to Wah-Kwan Gwan(1929–2000), a legendary prop master of Chinese and Indigenous heritage who was raised in Guangdong. Though little known outside the Chinese community, he was deeply revered within it. To honour his legacy, Rosa assembles a team of young artists to blend Cantonese melodies with jazz, blues, and Indigenous rhythms. Against the backdrop of a fading Chinatown and the urgency to save a vanishing art form, Rosa puts everything on the line to bring this dream to life.
