Tai Kwun Performing Arts Season: SPOTLIGHT "Since When"Tai Kwun - Centre for Heritage and Arts
I lost my voice. It’s OK, you say, you will look for it, together with me...
Since when there is tumult everywhere, and no sounds;
Since when the consequence has lost the cause;
Since when the balance has lost the centre;
Since when I have lost my voice…
After losing the hearing and the words, before losing the memories and the hopes…
Perhaps, we can journey on a little bit more,
Seeking, perhaps finding nothing on the other shore,
But possibly, an echo from the nightmares: imagine,
The two of us, a door
Concept and words lyrics by Chow Yiu-fai. Music and songs by Joyce Tang. Since When is their first musical and lyrical co-creation, supported visually and spatially by Chan Wai-lap and other artists. The music is performed live by Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, iii (Iris Liu) and a choir of young singers, with installations featuring audio-visual recordings by students from Hong Kong Baptist University. Since When invites us to join the journey of seeking, finding, remembering, imagining, hopefully recognizing, reclaiming what used to belong to us …
