Drama Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
12-15/2/2009

Co-Produced and Co-Commissioned by Hong Kong Arts Festival and Zuni Icosahedron



Inspired by Yuan Dynasty dramatist Zhong Sicheng's Lu Gui Bu (Book of Ghosts), Danny Yung invited four Asian traditional performing arts masters to experiment dance and theatre under the theme of "Ghosts" to reconnect the past with present, while showcasing the beauty of traditions in contemporary theatre.

 

There was also an additional performance A Dialogue Between the Traditional and the Contemporary performed by four contemporary artists, as a responding performance to the interactions with the traditional performing arts masters and their Book of Ghosts performances.
