Herbie Hancock, dance from Wayne McGregor in Hong Kong arts hub’s 2024/25 season
- Grace Kelly (not the one you are thinking of), RubberBand, and Herbie Hancock are among the big names performing at West Kowloon arts hub
Jazz musician Herbie Hancock, choreographer Wayne McGregor, saxophonist Grace Kelly (no, not the late actress), Cantopop band RubberBand and a Hong Kong version of musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch – these are just a few must-sees among the 50-plus programmes in the sixth annual performing arts season at the West Kowloon Cultural District, now rebranded WestK, in Hong Kong.
“The line-up is the most ambitious to date for the performing arts division,” he says.
On August 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25, Hong Kong group On & On Theatre Workshop and WestK are co-presenting a play called With Love, Medea’s Boys, which explores the world of the afterlife from the perspectives of the sons of Greek mythological character Medea and unfolds like a dark fairy tale.
