A Sea of Smiling LT Ducks — A Children’s Dance Drama
A Courageous Voyage of Discovery
The locally produced classic toy LT Duck is going to hop on stage and lead us on an incredible journey. Hong Kong Dance Company’s children’s dance drama A Sea of Smiling LT Ducks will be staged at Sha Tin Town Hall Auditorium from 2nd to 4th August 2019. From crossing the ocean to traversing the city, the little duck overcomes challenge after challenge to rescue its friends, discovering its unique talent during the journey, and is no longer lost and lonely. Despite its ordinary appearance, the little duckling eventually discovers its distinctive qualities, and finally finds its path — how they grow up? Don’t we all?
A production that embraces the kid in you!
Apart from teaching our young audience the virtues, the Company also models the production on children’s toys - contrasting lights and shadows develop the scenes and atmosphere, using cardboard and toys to create sets and costumes that children are familiar with. In the era of computer animation and virtual reality, the creative team carefully selects plots and presentation techniques that would spark children’s imagination not only to capture the young audience, but also to make moms and dads re-embrace their inner child, and to make the production an enjoyable family activity for all ages!

Supporting Partner
L.T. Lam created the little yellow ducks in 1948. This yellow ducky family, a mother duck and her 3 ducklings, were an instant hit and had also created a lot of collective memories for Hong Kong families in 2015. L.T. decided to re-launch this yellow ducky family and in 2017, the ducky family was given a new name “LT Duck”, with the hope that these goodwill ambassadors will continue to bring joy and happiness to families. The characters of mother “LT Duck” and the 3 ducklings represent love, wisdom, courage and hope respectively. The positive energy of these characters encourages optimism and a can-do attitude!
