Local theatre production by Theatre Horizon, “Century-old Dreams of a Fishing Harbour” recounts the history of Hong Kong through the eyes of a rather unusual protagonist, maybe not too far removed from a character in the movie “The Shape of Water”. It’s a trilogy. The first part was performed in 2014, the second in 2016, and the third - “The Awakening” - which tells the story from 1997 to 2017, opened last Wednesday.
Certain iconic images can be immediately identified with certain artists. If I mention clouds, pipes, bowler hats and green apples you might immediately know I am referring to the work of the Belgian surrealist painter Renee Magritte. The exhibition “Renee Magritte: The Revealing Image – Photos and Films” included 132 original photographs and eight films created by the artist and his friends. His paintings weren’t here, but there were resized replicas of some, and the photos and films did reveal another side of the artist. The exhibition, at Artistree, ended on Monday but in case you missed it, here’s a chance to catch up.
Keyboardist and singer-songwriter Vincy Chan is a non-binary trans musician, artist, and activist whose studies include jazz vocals and Ghanaian drumming. It’s no surprise then that Vincy is interested in crossing boundaries in music. In 2015 Vincy released a debut album “Porcelain Soul”. Last year, and earlier this month, Vincy and the Prototyke Lab performed in Freespace in the West Kowloon Cultural District. They’ve also taken part in a Freespace Mixtape that includes songs about displacement and the rights of sex workers. Vincy and the band are here with Ben right now.
