The Story

Escorted by a warden, a group of convicts are transferred to a rural prison via the waterways.  Their vessel is capsized in an unexpected storm – some are drowned, some are drifted to different corners of an uninhabited island.  Talented in each of their own ways, the convicts try to look for freedom by various means.  They become dependent on one another.  A cat-and-mouse chase begins when they run into the warden.  To survive, the convicts decide to form an alliance headed by the magician in the group.  They look for resources and maps left by predecessors on the island in hopes for a way out.  They are ready to set off on the sea, but the storm hits again.  The ending catches everyone by surprise.  Featuring tap dance as the centrepiece, Undestined Sail is also a fusion of modern dance and magic.  The story unfolds with the five performers showcasing their talents and the conflict arouse between characters.

The running time of each performance is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes without intermission. 

Audience is strongly advised to arrive punctually.  Latecomers and audiences who leave their seats during the performance will only be admitted to their own seats at a suitable break.
