An original dance cabaret bursting with choreographic delights and linguistic confusion
Description
This November, join us for the premiere of the original contemporary dance theatre production Home Sweat Home. Devised and performed by acclaimed choreographer Yuri Ng and musical talents Rick Lau and Anna Lo – the creative team behind the sell-out cabaret shows LauZone and Tri Ka Tsai – Home Sweat Home is a playful reflection on home and identity through dance, music and song.
Delivered in a mix of languages – Cantonese, Teochew, Shanghainese, Taishan dialect, Australian English and more – the work is a rich tribute to Hong Kong’s melting-pot culture and one of Yuri’s first major projects in his new role as Artistic Director of CCDC.
Home Sweat Home is the opening event of this year’s City Contemporary Dance Festival and part of the Freespace programme “CCDC in Residence 2021”.
