The Story of My Neighbour Totoro

‘Enchanting’ is what this lovely story is being called. It delves into the fantasy world of childhood and explores the transformative power of the human imagination. And it follows two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, through one magical summer.

The girls’ mum is recovering from an illness in a countryside hospital. Their dad moves them to a rural area so they can be closer to her. The girls gradually discover their lovely surroundings. The younger sister Mei comes across amazing forest creatures and the ancient protector of the woodland, who she calls Totoro. Her sister doesn't believe her at first but soon they’re both enjoying exciting adventures with their new neighbours. Together, the sisters find themselves transported to an ancient realm of spirits, sprites, and natural wonders.

My Neighbour Totoro offers audiences a magical journey into the wonders of childhood imagination and the beauty of friendship. One of the most talked about shows that has hit the city in recent years, witness the jaw-dropping experience of this show for yourself!
