Macbeth

April 16-April 25, 7:30pm

Brave Scottish general, Macbeth, receives a prophecy from a trio of sinister witches promising him a golden future as ruler of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the throne for himself. But he soon learns the meaning of terror as he is wracked with guilt and paranoia, becoming a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of arrogance, madness and death.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

February 11-13, 7:30pm
By William Shakespeare

Helena loves Demetrius, Demetrius loves Hermia, Hermia loves Lysander…  What could be more complicated than when the lovers run into the forest, get lost, and become ensnared in a heated argument between the Fairy King and Queen?  On the other side of the forest, a group of aspiring amateur actors is rehearsing a play.  How will the play turn out?  What will become of the lovers?  

Come and enjoy 80 minutes of love, bickering, magic, mischief and music, set against a post-World War II backdrop.

This is the fifth Shakespearean production by Shax Theatre Group (STG), a young group founded in 2010 and based at HKU, with undergraduates and postgraduates from all disciplines.

Home

February 5-7, 8pm

A place for shelter.
A feeling of comfort.
A recollection of our memories.

We all hope to change things, and make our home a better place.
At the same time, however, we fear losing our precious past.

How many places have you called “home”?
Can you recall the changes?  And are things still changing…?

Uno. Fantasia

January 31, 8pm

A mime show in four stylish acts: 

“The Sigh of Chaplin”
No matter how crafty the mimicry is, it still carries Chaplin’s shadow. When can I see the real “me” behind the moustache? 

“City. Illusions”
The city crawls towards an era of darkness. Naivety is a legend in the far north. 

“Dān. Mime (January)”
To achieve calmness, here and now, is very difficult. 
To achieve calmness, here and now, will only bring chaos.
So let “it” come and let “it” go freely. 

“Once. Beauty.” 
One person? One mind? Once? Beauty? Fat or slim? Tall or short? Long or short? Tangible or intangible?
Me = Me
