Serendipity
Serendipity, an abstract, predetermined tie in any relationship like those “predestined to be friends or to love” in Chinese culture, nurtures the encounter, be it in experiences or human relationships.  The choreographer’s wish is for “serendipity with dance” to manifest itself as a timeless relationship, like an everlasting flow of love in dance.

Déjà Vu
A voice flashed by in my dream, a feeling of déjà vu, is it real or just fantasy?  Have you heard of it?

Naked Soul
Withering leaves scattered all over, and snowflakes swirling in the sky like hovering over the naked soul – what a heart-purifying experience…

The Gallants
Time to explore the world of classical literature and learn how to become a hero!

The word xia (hero) often conjures up the global superheroes of today.  But did you know that such courageous xiake (knights) have long existed in Chinese literature as well?  How do you become such a knight?  By helping the needy and fighting for justice?  By mastering martial arts and not submitting to aggression?  In fact, it is gallant conduct such as bravery and being righteous that matters most to a knight.

In Your Sight, In Your Mind
Digital magic incorporates videos, animations, screens and other digital equipment into the performance of tricks, opening the door to a whole new world of creative ways of presentation beyond the confines of traditional magic.  Mentalist magic relies on the magician’s knowledge of mind reading, telepathy, precognition, mathematics and more to accurately predict audience behaviours and invite viewers to think actively and make choices.  Fusing these two distinctive styles of magic performance rarely seen in Hong Kong, In Your Sight, In Your Mind offers an out-of-this-world journey into magic and allow the audience to enjoy the marvel of magic both visually and mentally.

Chastising the Princess
As General Guo Ziyi's 80th birthday approaches, family members are making their way to the birthday celebration to pay their respects, except for Princess Sheng Ping, wife of the general’s third son Guo Ai.  Proud of her royal status, the Princess refuses to attend the celebration.  In a fit of anger, Guo Ai returns to the palace and slaps his wife, who then complains to the emperor in tears.  Instead of meting out a punishment, the emperor offers gentle words of consolation.  At last, the couple is reconciled through the emperor and the queen's mediation.

Performers : Yuen Wai-kit, Szeto Hoi-yee
