“Remember that we all are” multi-sensorial walk-performance
Inspired by “Art Personalised: Masterpieces from the HKMoA” exhibition
This is a story about “giving”. Nature provides and we give back by receiving. We invite you to open up your hearts and follow the journey of Leaf, from the moment it falls to the ground to taking new forms and dissolving into air again, completing its cycle with the four elements — earth, fire, water and wind. Our dancer will be accompanied by two drummers, who will guide us through the experience with their sounds, and the performance will be completed with an interactive aroma experience.
The performance is divided into four parts that resonate with the characteristics of HKMoA’s collection. And very much like Mother Nature, artists speak their truth through their work often without asking for a return, and the only way to honour them is if we can share our undivided appreciation and time.
