Introduction

Inspired by ’80s pop pioneers Depeche Mode’s powerful, evocative lyrics, European sensation Foniadakis’ thrilling hit Strangelove creatively explores the complexities of the human condition with death-defying lifts and electrifying choreography brimming with energy and passion. The unique blend of dark, atmospheric electronic sounds are the perfect backdrop to a visually and emotionally captivating ballet that is a testament to the transformative power of music and dance. South China Morning Post reported that the performance ‘had people on their feet screaming and cheering at the end, something rarely seen in Hong Kong’.

An emotional work that speaks to the power of community by celebrating the everyone’s individuality, Trey McIntyre’s energetic and wildly popular Mercury Half-Life brings to life popular songs from iconic rock band Queen like ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ and ‘Bohemian Rapsody’. McIntyre says Queen’s music has the perfect blend of showiness and rhythm to highlight something that doesn’t often appear on the ballet stage: tap dance, which creates a new dimension to the familiar, beloved music. 

Spotlighting music from Hong Kong indie rock band Beyond, Hu Song Wei Ricky and Mai Jingwen’s uplifting new work Martlet embraces the optimism and humanity in the songs and features costumes by Robert Wun, the first Hong Kong designer to debut at Paris Haute Couture Week with eclectic, sculptural designs. Beyond is best known for revolutionizing the local music scene with their unique blend of rock and socially conscious lyrics, inspiring generations with songs like ‘Boundless Oceans Vast Skies’ and ‘Glorious Years’, leaving a lasting impact on the city’s cultural identity.

Glam Rock promises to be an unforgettable show that delivers powerful human connections through electrifying dance and style!
