This special presentation offers Canadian audiences the opportunity to experience on the big screen a production inspired by the missionary work of Matteo Ricci, an Italian Jesuit priest, in China. Since its premiere in Hong Kong in 2019, the musical sold out rapidly and went on to have three runs over four years, all to full houses and widespread critical acclaim. The production has been captured from multiple angles and carefully edited, transforming the live theatrical performance into a visually rich stage film. Now presented overseas for the first time by Fountain of Love and Life, this screening invites audiences in Canada to relive every moving and powerful moment of the performance on screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the screening, a sharing session will be held, featuring special guest speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n
