Up Close and Personal
Young Choreographers showcase
Shedding the classic images of 19th century princes and princesses, 7 budding choreographers from the Company will reveal their true selves as individuals living and breathing in the 21st century in 7 new works.
What's more, you are invited to see them up close in a studio environment - their 'home' in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
Be sure not to miss this rare occasion! The audience capacity is limited to 100 people.
Frontier
Choreography: Nobuo Fujino
Throughout life we cross paths with countless people and form relationships based on friendship, love, work and sometimes even deception. As we connect with others we must rely on ourselves as there is no way to truly look inside a person's soul. It reveals the extraordinary emotions that develop from human interaction.
Let It Go
Choreography: Li Yi-ran
LOVE is no longer pure; we have too many desires. Is it true that the love we yearn for only exists in fiction and film? Or do we have a choice?
...and you are?
Choreography: Jonathan Mangosing
80s nouveau pop/rocks has made its way into the ballet just as The Ting Tings have recently brought their act to Hong Kong this March. This piece embodies the playfulness and attitude of The Ting Tings' hit song That's Not My Name.
SHIFTS IN NOTION
Choreography: Carlo Pacis
Inspired by the biography of Catherine de Medici and the forces that pulled and shaped her being, the piece is an exploration of movement possibilities as well as the experiences that affect who we are as individuals.
The Moment
Choreography: Aurora Kwong
We often cherish memories of past relationships. Whether filled with compassion or cruelty, loyalty or betrayal, we have to wake up after all and decide the way we truly want to live.
oMo-child
Choreography: Hikota Taira
"Omocha" means "toys" in Japanese. When you grow up, does the toy from your childhood still have meaning? Is it still something that belongs to you?
Flash
Choreography: Eve Chan
We are moving forward, yet we are confused. As we move forward, what have we gained? And what have we lost?
