Exploring both the imagination of the child and the darkness and nightmares that may accompany it, the American Ballet Theatre’s “Whipped Cream” begins with a young boy gorging on whipped cream to the point of hospitalisation. The two-act ballet takes audiences into his sugar-induced delirium. Its Asian Premiere was here in Hong Kong in March at the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
Over the past two weeks, there’s been news of the deaths of two great American artists. One was the towering literary figure Philip Roth, who died in New York at 85. To the disappointment of many, the Nobel Prize passed him by, but not many other major literary awards did. In the eyes of many cultural commentators, his death marks the end of a literary era. Roth’s work encompassed humour, pathos, American society, politics, history, sexuality, and identity, particularly Jewish identity. He was also known for his unflinching honesty about the male psyche, often blurring the line between his own and that of his creations.
There was also much exploration of America in the work of Robert Indiana, who died on May 19th. A pioneer of assemblage, hard-edged abstraction and pop art, Indiana’s best known to the general public for his iconic “Love” sculptures and prints. In February this year, the Asia Society organised the first Hong Kong solo exhibition of his works.
During the Baroque era, many composers created suites of music that incorporated music for several different dance forms, one of which was the Sarabande.
Taking their inspiration from the Sarabande, cellist Noemi Boutin and juggler Jorg Muller have created a performance that marries three of Bach’s famous cello suites with theatre, dance and contemporary art. Recently they were in our studio to give us a taster.
