Dance Theatre "Diary VII • The Story Of......"Shaw Auditorium, HKUST

In the wee hours of the morning with the moon lingering, Mui Cheuk Yin and her feline companion walk on tiptoes in the old city amid the dim light, dropping myriad forms of shadows on the dew-strewn cardboards…

Diary VII • The Story Of...... belongs to the Diary project started by our iconic dancer and choreographer, Mui Cheuk Yin in 1986. The series chronicles her childhood in China, her body and her dance career. In Diary VII, Mui chronicles her stories with stray cats through text, images, sounds, and her agile moves to find subtle parallels between feline traits and her philosophy in life. The shrewd and astute gazes of the cats seem to penetrate beyond the ephemeral nature of the city over the years. With its delicate steps and gentle moves, the cats appear to caress the wounds suffered by the fading city. "Diary VII" was awarded Outstanding Choreography and Outstanding Small Venue Production at the 23rd Hong Kong Dance Awards 2022.

After the performance, there will be a post-performance sharing where Mui Cheuk Yin and lighting designer Lee Chi Wai will delve into the creative process behind Diary VII. We invite you to join us and gain insights into the making of this exceptional performance.

*A workshop is scheduled the day after the performance for audiences to sign up.
