Dance

Thrilled to be entering our 6th year, The Series is growing with our choreographic stars and trying out new formats. This edition features familiar elements while striding into uncharted territories. With an international collaboration, cross-discipline commissions and a mixed bill showcasing emerging talents, it brings together trained dancers with non-dancers to explore the art of creativity and movement.

Cecilia’s Rhapsody

Explosive encounters of literature and dance

Cecilia is the short story that launched the writing career of Dung Kai-cheung. Hailed as Hong Kong’s own Italo Calvino, Dung’s lyrical, dreamlike urban tales are landmarks of our city’s literary landscape. His prose – fluid, rhythmic, evocative – invites readers to shift effortlessly between characters and perspectives.

In this triple-bill programme, three local choreographers – Rebecca Wong Pik-kei, Ata Wong and Blue Ka-wing – are invited to create three duets in response to this seminal piece of Hong Kong literature. These cross-disciplinary works challenge and reflect on dance as a wordless form of expression that is integral to Hong Kong’s creativity.
