The Duras Project
Dance
Description
Description
The performance is given in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Marguerite Duras (1914-1996), the French writer with international influence. Duras holds an important place in cultural circles favouring Modernism in Hong Kong after the 1980s. In honour of her centennial, artists in Hong Kong– seasoned or young, and from different sectors – decide to come together in a tribute through installation theatre. We hope to bring to the Hong Kong audience a commemorative event of a different kind. Inspired by her magnum opus, Moderato Cantabile (1958), and the posthumous C’est Tout (1995), the performances will be held at a site rich in Hong Kong history: the Cattle Depot Theatre in To Kwa Wan (for experimental theatre staging), on two of Duras’s favourite themes: love and death.
Note：This event record is compiled from "Hong Kong Dance Yearbook 2014" published by Hong Kong Dance Sector Joint Conference.
