A raving party with desperate dancing souls

As they face the end of their prime years and bid farewell to the insolence of youth, a group of rebellious souls struggle to survive in face of reality. Night has fallen and these men and women find themselves facing their own demons. Rhythmic music reverberates and seven dancers move with desperation, letting lose their primitive emotions; 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘔𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 is the ultimate gesture of youthful rebellion, a struggle against an absurd generation. We seem to have changed the world in some way, yet everything also seems to remain completely unchanged…

The 2021 Hong Kong Arts Festival video version of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳 gave Mao Wei a taste of boundary-breaking creativity; the subsequent live performance on stage in Macau was described as “confronting and brutally beautiful”. Having reflected on his experiences during the past year, Mao Wei continues this creative journey in a collaboration with Chan Tai-yin as dramaturge. Following the narrative structure of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳, this new production with a newly created set, lighting, music and costume design speaks of the resilience and vulnerability of young people in their “formidable year”.
