Fugue of Two Shores

Following the The Inner Études (2021) which drew inspiration from the history of granites in Hong Kong and The Sublime Progressions (2023) themed around migration and diaspora, the arts group Vividly unveils Fugue of Two Shores, the third and final chapter of a trilogy of immersive theatre.

Set sail! We shall embark on a journey back in the Age of Exploration. You will venture and arrive at a port named Macau. There, the Western colonists unloaded their collection of exotic plants and spices collected from the East. Three centuries later, they set sail again to an island called Hong Kong. The seedlings are transplanted from Macau to Hong Kong with both engulfed by the sea. They quickly took root and flourished into a lush and vibrant garden. Initially just a random piece to complete the master plan for cities in the West, the city came into fruition of its own.

Delving into legends from the antiquated past, Tai Kwun becomes the backdrop of two cities with intertwined destinies. The audiences will be guided on a journey across time and space in Tai Kwun via a multi-dimensional realm in which lighting, soundscapes, projections, and performances intersect. The site-specific theatre offers audiences the chance to witness how the intricate web of life reveals itself and to reconnect with the city by navigating into its past and present.
