M+ Live Art x Hong Kong Ballet—Five Tiny Dances
M+ Live Art x Hong Kong Ballet—Five Tiny Dances
To commemorate the opening of M+, Hong Kong’s new museum of visual culture, Hong Kong Ballet showcases Five Tiny Dances.
Five Tiny Dances will animate the newly-opened public spaces throughout M+ and enchant audiences of all ages through dynamic movement and rhythm. Highlights include excerpts from Hong Kong Ballet Choreographer-in-Residence Hu Song Wei Ricky’s The Lost Season, a highly physical meditation on our relationship with Earth and our responsibilities towards the environment. Accompanied by Max Richter's iconic reimagining of Vivaldi’s epic The Four Seasons, The Lost Season is a thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting experience that inspires audiences to be better stewards of the natural world. The other four pieces, choreographed by Jessica Burrows, Feng Jingyi, Li Lin, and Lin Chang-yuan Kyle, encompass timely environmental and climate change topics, which inspire us to take steps towards a better future.
Sign Language Interpretation will not available for this non-dialogue-based event.
