Co-created by the multi-talented artists Yuri Ng, Anna Lo and Rick Lau, the original Hong Kong style cabaret performance Tri Ka Tsai examines this city’s bittersweet relationship with Cantonese, English and Putonghua. Mastering English had long been considered a ticket to success, and Hong Kong has groomed generations of “English-speakers” who spice up the language with their unique Cantonese accents and cadences. This was all lovely and well until we all suddenly realised that struggling with English wasn’t enough, as struggling with Putonghua is now as important as ever…

In this bizarre yet unique trilingual environment of Hong Kong, how do Anna and Rick position themselves? And for that matter, how do we? Come on over and see if Anna and Rick can figure it out, and maybe you’ll see Anna show off her Chinglish, or maybe you’ll cry simultaneous tears of joy and horror at Rick’s “Cantonghua”…don’t know ah, you come see see la!

Could we still find happiness after a nuclear explosion?

Yan Pat To is the first ethnic Chinese playwright awarded by the Berlin Theatertreffen Stuckemarkt with his ground-breaking work A Concise History of Future China. In collaboration with dramaturge Dick Wong, Yan tackles another thought-provoking issue that is closely related to our lives through Happily ever after nuclear explosion. Two performers lead the audience into the post-nuclear-explosion world through daily objects, video presentation and installation.

A man and a woman from the nuclear contaminated areas emerge on stage. She talks of the preceding catastrophe and the life after it. He opens his mouth but there is no sound-just a severe gag reflex. To evade isolation and social exclusion, they return to their hometown, presumably now a dead city. At the epicentre of the catastrophe, to their surprise, is a vibrant nature where animals live freely and flowers blossom, no more lives destroyed, and everything is bright and beautiful…
