As cliched as it is to say this, Mother Nature is truly the best artist. My one-week road trip this past August through Arizona and Utah was one big art tour. The views we got to experience were just incredulous. I was constantly mind-blown and left wondering how some of the geological features are even … More Mother Nature the Artist: Arizona and Utah
16 March 2017, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. It’s interesting what you remember. I first watched this play back in 2010. It was actually the very first show I worked on at the Young Vic so I even studied the script and spent months working on it. I remember loving it, I remember that … More The Beauty Queen of Leenane – Druid
17 March 2017, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Pleasantly surprised! Really enjoyed watching this production. Have to admit, I had my reservations about yet another Westernized interpretation of Dream of a Red Chamber – especially after the disaster that was the Hong Kong Ballet production back in 2013. It is not an easy job to have to … More Dream of the Red Chamber – San Francisco Opera + HK Arts Festival
March 4 2016, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Good theatre may not change the world – in large or personally – but it speaks to our hearts, and prompts us to understand what it means to be human. It acts as a mirror on society, and brings distant worlds much closer. And Arthur Miller is incredible … More Rose Theatre Kingston: All My Sons
10 March 2017, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Pina Bausch is famous for not outwardly attaching meaning to her work. She gives audiences the room to interpret. And Cafe Müller is one of those pieces that you can’t watch without feeling compelled to make sense of it. It’s feeling sad, feeling worn down by the repetition of … More Pina Bausch: Cafe Müller / The Rite of Spring
21 February 2017, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Bayerisches Staatsballett II – Bavarian State Ballet II. Nice to see the younger generation taking a step towards a different ballerina body type. A healthier and a stronger muscular physique. This company is the younger training company of the Bavarian State Ballet and they definitely dance with more eagerness. … More Bayerisches Staatsballett II – Mixed Bill
23 February 2017, Hong Kong Cultural Centre Great show by the National Theatre Brno with an interesting premise. Czech composer Janáček’s most famous work, interpreted from Karel Čapek’s play. I went in with no expectations. It’s not often that I watch opera (still learning how to appreciate the artform), but when I do, I often enjoy it because … More The Makropulos Case
18 February 2017, Hong Kong Cultural Centre Arts Fest is back! And today’s performance inspired me to blog again. Hehe, let’s see if I can keep this up. My first time seeing both Bayerisches Staatsballett (Bavarian State Ballet) and La Bayadère. A ballet with magnificent moments, a beautiful set with stunning costumes… dancers with incredible skill… … More La Bayadère
