The Little Little Faust
Recital Hall, High Block, Hong Kong City Hall

Presented & Produced by Zuni Icosahedron 


The Little Little Faust was a work inspired by the German tragedy, Faust, by Goethe. Artistic Director, Danny Yung invited Makoto Matsushima, the choreographer and dancer from Tokyo, and Ke Jun, the Kun Opera artist from Nanjing, as guest directors and performers for the piece. The work aimed at bringing about cross-region and cross-cultural exchanges with the comparison between traditional Chinese opera and contemporary theatre through the media of dance, music and video. Joining the performance from China were Liu Lei from The Sichuan Opera Academy, and Li Hong Liang, the national class actor of Jiangsu Kun Opera House. These two artists from the mainland collaborated with Cedric Chan and other Zuni members for a new interpretation of the classic story of Faust.
