Dance Theatre Diary VII • The Story Of……
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…
One of Hong Kong’s most iconic dancers and choreographers, Mui Cheuk Yin started the Diary project since 1986. It developed into a series of intimate and autobiographical dance works that see Mui navigate her illustrious career and, more importantly, making connection with the world through dance. In her latest work Diary VII • The Story Of……, 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.
