There will be two free programmes at the West Kowloon Cultural District for the public to enjoy.
Me, a Man
Whenever I go on a trip, all I want is to get away from this absurd world.
I am drowning in my repetitive daily routine, just like Albert Camus’ Sisyphus – forever rolling a boulder up a hill. Have you ever thought about the meaning of life?
Local dance artist Hui Ka-chun asks similar questions in his creative works. The project Me, a Man, is inspired by The Myth of Sisyphus, Hui’s exhibition documents his thoughts, feelings and ideas about himself and society. Come and visit The Studio, Freespace to enter Hui’s inner world through the various installations and enjoy the immersive experience of his cross-media digital self-portrait.
You are invited to join Hui in this search to find ourselves among the absurd.

WuDaoQingNian 2021 – De-islandsation
In troubled times like these, frustration and desolation crowd the mind. Wandering in darkness, we were anxious and distressed, as if we were walking across a frozen lake. We kept chasing our dreams, yet let ourselves be turned into ‘isolated islands’. In times like these, who will be left to keep watch over the wheatfield, to wait patiently together for the first rays of the sun?
WuDaoQingNian 2021 is delighted to announced its new dance theatre performance De-islandsation for City Contemporary Dance Festival. Choreographed by CCDC’s Resident Artist Noel Pong, 17 selected students will take to the stage after ten months of professional dance training. Each dancer’s body is stacked up to form islands; encouraging us to chase our dreams even during the darkest and most depressing nights. Nothing can dim the light which shines from within. Let’s pursue our dreams by joining hands and allowing our inner light to illuminate each other on the island.
