It’s time once again for the annual Hong Kong Arts Festival. For over a month, 1,400 artists from around the world will be giving 119 performances, 15 of which are new works or world premieres.

The Sanskrit word “ksana” refers to a tiny unit of time, one seventy-fifth of a second. That small slice of time has inspired Japanese artist, Ayumi Adachi to explore our human life cycle.

The ukulele is a development of the Portuguese machete de braga, which was introduced to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants in the 19th century. The name “ukulele” roughly translates as “jumping flea”.

One of its pre-eminent players is Hawaiian musician Kimo Hussey.
