The Life and Times of Louis I. Kahn
Shouson Theatre, Hong Kong Arts Centre
9-10/3/2001
Presented & Produced by Zuni Icosahedron
Kahn's philosophy on creativity and his architectural works have greatly inspired Mathias Woo. As a tribute to Louis I. Kahn, Woo uses the original text and recorded lectures written and spoken by Kahn himself in this production. The music is provided by renowned local composer Jason Choi, who interpreted and re-arranged Mozart's Piano Sonata K.281, in collaboration with musicians Tsang Tak-hong on Bass and Alan Ip on Guitar. Mixing live and programmed digital images, stage installation and lighting effect, the performance provides a 'space' to examine afresh the relationships among theatre, architecture, education and the society.
