Echoes of Nüwa: The Last Human Project

Muddy Lolos (Chia-Yi Chan, Jinyu Dan, Qianyi Wang) • Professional company

50 minutes•Studio
When Nüwa created humanity, she believed they would live in joy and harmony forever. She mended the sky with five-colored stones, halted the great Catastrophe and ascended – confident her work was complete. But thousands of years later, BOOM! Humanity obliterated itself. Nüwa never returned. Instead, she left her three minions, the Muddy Lolos, to take on the task of rebuilding. Through endless experiments, they tinker with the dimensions of humanity, searching for a version that can truly cherish life. After countless failures, one question remains: does humanity have a future?
