Diary VII: The Story Of...

Part of Hong Kong Soul @c_venues | C Aurora, #MuiCheukYin invites us to experience a deeply introspective journey with #DiaryVII. This is not just #dance; it's a visual poem, a discourse on memory & urban life…

…The stage, with its white sheet, becomes a canvas. Here, Mui's projected shadows are echoes of the past, present & an uncertain future. The masterful manipulation of light and dark hints at life's dualities – presence & absence, hope & despair, movement & stillness. The many, many #cats🐈‍⬛, symbolic of agility & adaptability, mirror Mui's own life journey & her relationship with a city that’s both familiar and radically evolving...

…The mesmerising choreography stands out. There’s an eloquence in Mui’s every move, a silent dialogue she shares with her audience. A feverish dance sequence, in silhouette set against shifting shadows, seems to speak to the chaos 🌪️& unpredictability of life…

…The multilingual soundscape serves not just as an ambient backdrop but a voice to the city's heartbeat💓. It encapsulates the myriad emotions, struggles & stories of a Hong Kong caught between its rich heritage & the throes of change…

…For some, the narrative might seem fragmented, but therein lies its beauty. Mui's work challenges us to find coherence amidst chaos, to draw connections, to introspect & relate on a deeply personal level. In doing so, she urges us to reflect on our own stories, histories & the cities we call home. 4/5
