Theatre

The Gallants by Class 7A Drama Group Time to explore the world of classical literature and learn how to become a hero! The word Xia (hero) often conjures up the global superheroes of today. But did you know that such courageous Xia Ke (knights) have long existed in Chinese literature as well?! How do you become such a knight? By helping the needy and fighting for justice? By mastering martial arts and not submitting to aggression? In fact, it is gallant conduct such as bravery and being righteous that matters most to a knight.

Dance

La P en V Innovative Dance Platform Serendipity Serendipity, an abstract, predetermined tie in any relationship like those “predestined to be friends or to love” in Chinese culture, nurtures the encounter, be it in experiences or human relationships. The choreographer’s wish is for “serendipity with dance” to manifest itself as a timeless relationship, like an everlasting flow of love in dance. Déjà vu A voice flashed by in my dream, a feeling of déjà vu, is it real or just fantasy? Have you heard of it? Naked Soul Withering leaves scattered all over, and snowflakes swirling in the sky like hovering over the naked soul - what a heart-purifying experience… Artistic Director/ Choreographer: Chong Chan-po Producer/ Assistant Choreographer: Tam Yuk-fong Vivian Lighting Designer: Chan Pui-yee Claudia Composer/ Sound designer: Cheung Siu-hung Ben Stage Manager: Yau Shek-kin Deputy Stage Manager: Tang Wing-ki Vickie Videographer: Tsoi Wang-yu Dennis Performers: HUI Hiu-ying, Chan Yuk-hang Hannah, Cheung Hiu-sang, Lau Cheuk-yi, Lam Pui-sze, Man Lim-chi, Lui Cheuk-ying Jocasta, Lee Lok-yee Ally, Kar Yuen-lam and 12 company dancers   About the Group

Digitalised Visual Magic and Mind Reading Performance In Your Sight, In Your Mind Digital magic incorporates videos, animations, screens and other digital equipment into the performance of tricks, opening the door to a whole new world of creative ways of presentation beyond the confines of traditional magic. Mentalist magic relies on the magician’s knowledge of mind reading, telepathy, precognition, mathematics and more to accurately predict audience behaviours and invite viewers to think actively and make choices. Fusing these two distinctive styles of magic performance rarely seen in Hong Kong, “In Your Sight, In Your Mind” offers an out-of-this-world journey into magic and allow the audience to enjoy the marvel of magic both visually and mentally.

Interactive Theatre Journey to the West* Based on Journey to the West, a classic Chinese novel, this theatre tells the story of a master and his three disciples travelling to the West (India) in quest of the Buddhist scriptures and saving the common people along the way. The journey is full of challenges, such as the Bull Demon King, Princess Iron-Fan, spider spirits and the Mountain of Flames. The different personalities of the master and his disciples also play a part in the course of the expedition. Although there are more than 15 characters in the drama, they will only be played by four professional actors, who will also use puppets to give a lively and thrilling performance. *with post-performance workshop Director ： Wong Tim-keung Producer ： Tang Yim-lan Performers ： Leung Man-wing, Chan Kin-man, Woo Chung-sing and Pong Chun-hang Workshop Tutor ： Li Kit-sum About the Group
