夢由 Walking On Air
An exquisite new dance choreographed by four innovative artists from Hong Kong Ballet.
An HKU Black Box & Guild Production
A vibrant young woman coming of age in the city, Ivana is on track toward success. Yet, she is starting to lose steam and her own vital energy in a 21st century maze of expectations. She is even starting to lose her “desire to desire” something more in her life. As her body teeters and walks a grid of long hours, packed schedules, and the pressures of perfection, she is trying to hold the line. A surprise encounter of the ‘5 Walks’ will awaken Ivana’s future, her wider curiosity and inner creativity.
Presented by The Box, Freespace. Produced by The HKU Black Box & Guild. Participation by Luis Cabrera, Sarita Chan, Jingyi Feng, and Jon Spigner by kind permission of Hong Kong Ballet.
