Hong Kong Style
Hong Kong City Hall Theatre
18-20/8/2006
Presented & Produced by Zuni Icosahedron
Hong Kong Style was a multimedia music performance on the idea of traveling through urban spaces. It was designed and directed by Mathias Woo, based on his own book of the same title published in 2005. The book examines the urban culture and architectures of Hong Kong, with articles on structures like cinemas, flyovers, bamboo scaffolding and wet markets in order to comment on the disappearing aesthetics of the city and its architectures. The performance evolved from the concept of the book and was manifested through creative expressions of multimedia technologies. It took the audience to a tour around Hong Kong to rediscover the architectural spaces of the city.
