Established in 1993, the We Draman Group is led by its Art Director, Tang Wai-kit, one of the few Hong Kong artists to have received formal mime training. He persists in emphasising “body” elements in creativity, and collaborates with various organisations in mime performances.

With Pantomime, Corporeal Mime and clown character creation as its technical backbone, the performance is accompanied by modern music, and has a simple set together with a humorous approach. Students are presented with different facets of life in Hong Kong, including joy and sorrow, dreams and nightmares, and hope and despair.

A 30-minute interactive educational session will be conducted after the performance.

This production is inspired by renowned French novella The Little Prince, reborn in the form of dance theatre. It describes the encounter between an astronaut and a rose on Star B-612, conveying the message that we should strive to overcome difficulties with hope in the face of adversity. This modern dance production involves an innovative design of an outer-space environment. Performers in dance shoes equipped with springs, and on-stage painting, sound, lighting, video recording and music effects, give participating students a close encounter with and experience of multi-media dance theatre. The performance is also enriched with interactive elements. Students are handed luminous objects, which they can wave to act as co-dancing galaxy creatures, or even advise the rose to solve her problems.
