A group of 14 seasoned technical arts artists from diverse backgrounds recently completed a series of innovative performance works as part of 6 creative collaborations. Under the guidance of curators Lawrence Lee, Allan Tsui, and artistic consultant Yuri Ng, these technical arts artists participated in a series of workshops and experimental exchanges, delving into the works of renowned technical arts artists from around the world to explore issues such as the adaptability of technical arts in Hong Kong, media repositioning, and construction.

Through these rich theatrical experiences and the support of the consulting team and the platform provided, the artists created a batch of new short works rooted in the technical arts field, showcasing their research and creative achievements during the festival.

Showcase 2 will present three works:
"100 to 1" x "Fracture / Seam"x "Wave Party".

==================================================================================

"100 to 1"
Artists: Ainsley So x Shybil Yuen

Everyone’s presence could become someone else’ inspiration. Suggesting new meanings or making interpretations to things that matter to us is an important part of one’s creative process, it’s also a process of transforming 100% of our sensations into one creation. Through "100 to 1", Costume Designers Sinsley So and Shybil Yuen would give participants an experience of transforming their visual impressions of their present moments into one unique piece of work.

==================================================================================

"Fracture / Seam"
Artists: Gary Chan x Hung Man Po

"The era is traversing a chasm, this city has been filled with a turbulent and restless atmosphere.

We are currently in the rift of this era.

Thus, some have decided to leave, to make a clean break from it.

Some choose to shut down their emotions, continuing to work hard, striving to eat, drink, and be merry.

Some wish to rediscover this place, contemplating the future path ahead.

"Fracture / Seam" created by multimedia artist Gary Chan and visual artist / illustrator Hung Man Po allows the audience to experience the fragments and changes in the ""stage"" setting of Hong Kong over the past decade, as well as the artist's impromptu performance in response to audience reactions.

Can we possibly mend this fracture here?

==================================================================================

"Wave Party"
Artists: Kristopher Chan x Chan Kwun Wang x Stoa Lau

"Life is a party, so always dress like you're attending one."

"Wave Party" is an experimental sound exploration ritual that brings together sound creative talents from different fields. Sound artists Kristopher Chan, Chan Kwun Wang and Stoa Lau invite the audience to participate in the party, to immerse themselves in the ocean of sound, interact with the works, and lead everyone to discover the charm of sound."
