It’s Not My Body: Chapter 3.5 / This Is
by Wong Tan-ki and Dick Wong
2 – 11 Aug 2024 (not 5)
16:05 – 17:05
This double-bill performance uses different approaches to interpret body and dance; in It’s Not My Body Chapter 3.5, Wong Tan-ki wrestles with his own shadow. The dancer’s every move, pause and limbo on stage builds a picture of the effect a life in dance has on the artist and their body. This Is by Dick Wong looks to visual art – from Duchamp to Kosuth to Lewitt – to reinvestigate time, space and the body on stage.

Must I Cry
By Theatre du Pif
19 – 25 Aug 2024
20:45 – 21:45
A defining portrait of a city transitioning away from British rule is interwoven with the story of the last male northern white rhinoceros, Sudan, whose death marked the end of a species on the brink of extinction. Through the interweaving of texts and narratives presented in a poetic form, accompanied by live music and projections, this performance aims to explore the themes of memory and disappearance in an ever-changing urban city. The show is directed by celebrated director and performer Bonni Chan, who last appeared in at the Fringe more than 20 years ago with The Overcoat.
