ABOUT THE EVENT
Hong Kong is a metropolis; Hong Kong is a metropolitan city by the sea. If the sea keeps memories, what does it record about us?
Inspired by the pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao, Beyond the Shore is an artistic research series connecting mythology, history and gender through interdisciplinary dance performance, inviting the audience to reimagine oceanic narratives with an archipelagic perspective. Creative collaborators of Beyond the Shore include dance artist Alysa Leung, dramaturg Dr Evelyn Wan and film director Anson Sham.
The lecture performance contextualises previous research and artistic practice surrounding water legends from Hong Kong to the Asian region reflecting on contemporary notions of body/identity. Beyond the Shore series has already been presented in various formats in Itoshima, Peng Chau and Surabaya.
