The Great Entertainer was produced by Edward Lam Dance Theatre, and co-directed by Mathias Woo and Edward Lam, with the participation of the popular artists, Gigi Leung and Jim Chim. The performance was premiered in November 2004 as part of the programme of the “New Vision” Arts Festival. Because of the enthusiastic response and demand from the audience, its rerun was presented by Zuni in January 2005. The Great Entertainer contained 30 different forms of performances, including singing, dancing, drama, talk show, quiz show and video, illustrating and demonstrating their various perspectives on entertainment. The script and nature of The Great Entertainer evolved from the games in the workshops held before the performance as rehearsals, and in these workshops the performers shared their diverse personal experience. The audience was provided a chance to ponder on the different meanings and values of entertainment while being greatly entertained at the same time.
