Folding Time Through Movement: CCDF 2026 Reimagines Contemporary Dance
In every motion, an eternal moment.

As time races with the city’s pulse, can the body anchor space and time?

Under the theme ‘Time Fantasy’, the City Contemporary Dance Festival 2026 (CCDF 2026) invites audiences to dismantle the boundaries of time through dance, traversing freely between reality and illusion, memory and prophecy, wakefulness and dreams.

From October 23 to 31 this year, the dance festival presented by City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) will take the stage at East Kowloon’s new cultural landmark, the East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC).

The festival spans historical reconstructions in Maguy Marin’s May B and Armin Hokmi’s Shiraz, alongside Jiří Kylián’s Sleepless and the world premiere of Sang Jijia’s a | ch. Meanwhile, the ‘HOTPOT East Asia Dance Platform’ returns, traversing Japan Platform’s avant-garde, multisensory dimensions; Korea Platform’s spectrum spanning tradition, modernity, and futuristic visions; as well as the dynamic perspectives of China Platform and the China National Arts Fund Young Artists Showcase. CCDF 2026 warmly invites you to step into the EKCC and witness fleeting yet resonant illusions of life, right where bodies and space-time intertwine.

Two limited-edition festival passes – the ‘CCDF Pass’ and ‘HOTPOT Pass’ – are now available, guiding audiences through this temporal labyrinth from multiple perspectives.
