Traditional Taiwanese features including puppetry, Taiwanese opera, Bajiajiang, and Beiguan music are combined in the show. To make the performance more exciting, it also includes live martial arts, 3D animation, and lighting effects. Some Hungarian lines were added to the play to bridge the gap with the local audience.
