Commencing at the Grand Piazza and the upper terrace of 1881 Heritage, the dancers will waltz their way up to the Parlour at Hullett House, along with the corridor of St. George fine dining restaurant and the tranquil Loong Toh Yuen courtyard. After the exciting performance, the audience will have the opportunity to get up close with HKDC dancers, followed by an exclusive dinner buffet hosted by Hullett House. This performance lifts the curtain on the Company’s collaboration with Hong Kong’s oldest heritage sites, Hullet House and 1881 Heritage, and sets the mood for an eventful Mother’s Day!

The full-length production is choreographed by Sang Jijia, with Tang Shu-wing as dramaturg and Dickson Dee as composer.

This will surely be the most magnificent work of the season.

The winner of the Gold Medal in the Modern Dance section of the Paris International Dance Competition in 1996, he was hailed by the Guangdong Provincial Government as “The Star of the Century” in 1997. In 2002, Sang Jijia was chosen by the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative to study choreography under William Forsythe in Germany.
