Skyduck: A Chinese Spy Comedy

Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki | Auckland Arts Festival presents Skyduck - Top Gun meets 007 with a J-Pop backing track!

1993. China launches Operation Skyduck. Captain Yan and Agent Chang are sent to steal America’s most prized flight simulation software, when they find themselves trapped by hotshot NSA agent, Commander Kendrick. His plan? To destroy China’s military ambition once and for all… by infiltrating their dreams!

Skyduck is a bilingual solo show written by and starring Sam Wang, who plays seven hilarious characters in a rollicking tale of international espionage – and half the story is in Mandarin (with English surtitles).

Blending lo-fi with high-tech and utilising projection, puppets, musical numbers, and handmade gadgets, Skyduck deploys all the charm of rough theatre alongside a truly impressive use of technology. Prepare for lift-off.

Suitable for ages 13+
Contains occasional strong language, strobe lighting and smoke/haze effects
