Through the looking glass, enter the parallel universe of theatre.
French May Arts Festival presents Let the Mirror Speak, a two–year Hong Kong–France theatre exchange project. In the final phase, playwright–directors Wu Hoi Fai (Hong Kong) and Nicolas Kerszenbaum (France) realise their new works onstage. Both works were developed using materials collected through interviews and observation during their respective residencies in Paris and Hong Kong.
Good Fortune attempts to read Hong Kong's fortune through interweaving folklore beliefs with theatrical imagination. Pas de deux à Hong Kong is an ethno–drama shedding light on the lives of the French community in Hong Kong. These two original theatre productions present mirror notions of a city's authentic character.
Beyond the performances of their new works, the two artists will host a series of meet–the–artist sessions, salons, and drama workshops to share their creation processes and experiences during this project.
