A new full length dance theatre by choreographer Helen Lai
City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) is proud to present a new production Soledad from 11 to 12 December 2015 at Auditorium, Kwai Ching Theatre. The production is directed and choreographed by Helen Lai with Peter Suart as composer and set designer. He also performs a theatrical role.
Soledad, solitude in Spanish, is a new dance theatre inspired by the Nobel literature prize winner Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. It is the first collaboration between local choreographer Helen Lai and the Hong Kong and UK artist Peter Suart. Between them, a world of love, desire, and power will unfold, a world existing within a great and inscrutable solitude.
Helen Lai was a founding member of CCDC, and was the Artistic Director of the company from 1985 to 1989 and Resident Choreographer from 1991 to 2011. Lai’s works are cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary. Her works are received internationally, striking audiences with her unique choreographic style. In Soledad, Lai explores the theme of time through representation of momentous scenes in the novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, echoing the transient historical timeframes of Hong Kong. The production is narrated by Peter Suart in the role of the Gypsy Melquíades, in collaboration with CCDC dancers, diving into the world with perpetual solitudes.
