Premiering in 2008, My Grandmother’s Funeral blends dark humor with deep emotion. Performed ten times over 17 years to sold-out audiences, it remains a beloved and enduring work in Hong Kong theatre.

Frida
The magical life and journey of an iconic artist
One of the most important painters in the 20th century, the Mexican-born Frida Kahlo is a blazing symbol of artistic subjectivity, female liberation and the magical world of surrealism. Colombian-Belgian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa (HKB’s Coco Chanel) produces a visually stunning Frida that tells the iconic artist’s multifaceted life story of triumph and tragedy with rich imagery from her bold paintings and deeply personal self portraits.
Seamlessly fusing the classical and the contemporary, this vivid work majestically showcases Ochoa’s inventive partnering as dancers weave a tale of tempestuous affairs, heart-wrenching struggle and complex, uncompromising art. Set against Peter Salem’s enchanting original score with vibrant touches of mariachi, flamenco and jazz music, the compelling characters in Frida’s magical world, including her husband and famed muralist Diego Rivera, are exuberantly brought to life.
Frida pays a hauntingly beautiful tribute to a visionary trailblazer who painted her version of the world against staggering odds and left an unforgettable social and artistic legacy.

Pi-hsien Chen Piano Recital
Pi-hsien Chen’s dedication to new piano music evolved from personal collaborations with some of the most important composers of the 20th century, including John Cage, Pierre Boulez and György Kurtág. For her return to Hong Kong, she has selected a programme true to her motto: “Be happy with strange things.” Bach’s Partita No 4 is complemented by the Third Piano Sonata by Boulez, which explores aleatoric music, while Alban Berg’s Op 1 relies heavily on Schoenberg’s idea of “developing variation”.
Chen’s piano recital provides a unique opportunity to experience an eclectic mosaic of pieces that are rarely performed in concert. Her remarkable and insightful interpretations will showcase her undisputed mastery of a vast piano repertoire.
