Hong Kong Ballet x AIRSIDE "Oz Life Journey" Immersive Arts Tech Ballet ExperienceHong Kong Ballet, AIRSIDE

Joining hands with AIRSIDE, for the first time ever, Hong Kong Ballet (HKB) has taken the blueprint of the age-old tale to create “Oz Life Journey" at our GATE33 Gallery, offering a new perspective on this classic story through Arts Tech.

Put on the latest Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR) gear and follow the virtual yellow brick road, harking to HK Ballet’s version of The Wizard of Oz, the journey features new choreography from HK Ballet’s Artistic Director Septime Webre as well as stunning visual effects by Eddy Wong, the winner of the Hong Kong Film Awards. Creativity abounds in a world of fantasy through MR and VR technologies, revealing pirouettes, lifts, and arabesques as if the ballerinas were moving right before your eyes.

Neon sign artist Jive Lau has created neon light artworks rich in local elements, while anime-style avatars Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, and the Wicked Witch of the West bring the story to life. Let them guide you through this beloved tale, listening to your heart's call, courageously pursuing your dreams, and journeying to your own Emerald City.
