HONG KONG BALLET X WEST KOWLOON CULTURAL DISTRICT X HONG KONG ART SCHOOL
The idea is simple: seven world premieres by eight Hong Kong-based choreographers, collaborating with local artists in different media. The result? An explosive celebration of Hong Kong’s trend-setting creative class! Produced in partnership with West Kowloon Cultural District and Hong Kong Art School (a division of the Hong Kong Arts Centre), dance-makers are paired with composers, painters, sculptors, fashion designers and video artists, creating something truly unique in a city known for its one-of-a-kind events.
After the show, grab a drink and mingle with your favourite dancer, and then enjoy a late-night screening of The Unheard Beat. This new documentary from Oliver Shing reveals the sweat, passion, disappointment and triumph behind the creative process and features Yuh Egami, Hu Song Wei Ricky and the Hong Kong Ballet dancers.
