Feet, what do I want them for if I have wings to fly? Inspired by the life and works of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, Helen Lai creates a series of tableaux-dansants based on the paintings My Birth, The Wounded Table, The Two Fridas, Memory and What the Water Gave Me in 'Frida', a dance piece originally staged by CCDC in 1996.
'Suddenly' is a world premiere performance piece satirising Hong Kong's relationship with mainland China. [NB This piece uses a lot of spoken Cantonese and Mandarin with no surtitling or other translation - see warning above]
