In 2020, I embraced the role of Artistic Director at the City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC). Since then, I\u2019ve dedicated myself to exploring the distinct allure of each dancer in the company, beginning with their diverse origins. CCDC reflects Hong Kong\u2019s rich cultural landscape, with its premiere dancers from all corners of the world, each bringing their own captivating narratives. This inspired me to continue my 2019 collaboration with Anna Lo and Rick Leung on\u00a0Tri Ka Tsai<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Lauzone<\/em>, projects that dive into the trilingual pop song culture enriched with multiple dialects. I am determined to uncover the layered cultural dynamics of Hong Kong, an international metropolis, reflecting on its past, present, and future. What does \u201croot\u201d signify to us? What connotations does \u201chome\u201d evoke? In this musical and dance cabaret journey, where accents and cadences flirt with comprehension, let\u2019s unfold emotions and contemplations behind themes of drifting, migration, moving to a new city and returning home.<\/p>\n

As of 2024, the work aligns with CCDC\u2019s \u2018An Ardent \u00b0Fall\u2019 season tour. I have joyfully handed this endeavor over to a new generation of dance artists, furthering our mission to comprehend the complexity of hybridity we encounter. I am excited to see how contemporary diversities converge, celebrating bodies and linguistic identities from North to South, East to West, and creating moments of heartfelt resonance. Below are my director\u2019s words when I first directed the work in 2021. I invite you to delve into the \u201cbody\u201d of text with me, originally penned in Cantonese.<\/p>\n

HOME is<\/p>\n

an Empty Harbour.<\/p>\n

Empty,<\/p>\n

merely empty;<\/p>\n

utterly empty.<\/p>\n

( \u2026 )<\/p>\n

Harbour, too,<\/p>\n

just empty,<\/p>\n

only empty,<\/p>\n

ever empty,<\/p>\n
