Cabaret Singing to the Tune of Hong Kong’s “Crazy Rich Culcha”
“Where are you from? Where are you REALLY from?”
This trivial bit of information seems to be useful only while filling in application forms. However, what else does our place of ancestry represent? Other than a few choice slangs, Hong Kong people are all but detached from the dialects spoken fluently among the older generations. Continuing to tackle this bittersweet relationship is LauZone co-created by Yuri Ng, Anna Lo and Rick Lau. As the creative team behind the critically acclaimed and hit production Tri Ka Tsai showcased also at Tai Kwun in 2019, the multi-talented trio presents another poignant yet playful performance on the rich variety of Chinese dialects.
“Lau Zone” is the Cantonese colloquial term towards non-Cantonese natives, which essentially includes most of the older Hong Kongers being immigrants to the city. Get ready for the euphony of dialects, music, and laughter as Rick Lau and Anna Lo shine in a cabaret show that sings tribute to the lives and memories of the melting pot known as Hong Kong as well as our roots and inherited legacy.
