HONG KONG SERENITY MEETS CHENGDU CONTRASTS

Encounters Across Cultures 2021

This year’s programme is an interactive engagement between dance and architecture. It allows the audience to activate their own journey through the unique spaces of the Houses with movements and time. In this, the programme’s second chapter, we are delighted to present an experience through two parallel universes – featuring elegant ballet at The Upper House, Hong Kong, and bold hip hop at The Temple House, Chengdu.


In today’s new normal of extended separations from our closest ones, the question of how to be together while apart is one that we increasingly face. Inspired by this idea, our creators imagined a tale of two friends in two cities, sharing one dance encounter through two difference spaces.

“Dance in its very essence, is movement in Space and Time. We leave to the audience the power of playing with Time.”

- acno, Choreography & Direction

To encounter is not just to experience. It is also to participate. 

That's why it was important for the team to create an interactive experience, inviting the audience to move together.  To show how our action or inaction could impact our experiences.

Experience it for yourself at The Middle House and see how your movements make a difference.
