Overview
The dance triptych The Message Behind The Wall by 198491 is a non-linear portrayal of Hong Kong as rendered by three enigmatic dancers. In Joseph Lee’s The World Was Once Flat, Hong Kong is explored anew through numbers that have become the common lexicon of his personal experience and of recent Hong Kong history. The emotional weight of these numbers is evoked through thoughtful choreography. In Bird-Watching, Rebecca Wong objectifies herself wittily via an installation sculpture. Being observed, gazed at, and imagined…..the shifting perspectives on the body form an abstract narrative on how the female figure is perceived by the audience or society at large. Confine by KT Yau portrays the breakdown of communication. The brick wall segregates worlds, defining the boundary of freedom and disrupting synchronisation. Whether inside or outside the barrier, people only receive scant answers from a barrage of questions. Strung together with youthful humour, poignancy and rebellion, the three pieces may very well differ in style but offer a compelling, collective reflection on their common subject.
