Data and VR help dance shows shine spotlight on number crunchers and human connections
The Accountants and +1+1+1+ among Asia+ Festival’s production highlights from region and China’s belt and road global trading network
In the rapidly evolving age of communication technology, where we have so much access to information online, do people really know more about the world in which they live?
In a story told through British multidisciplinary artist Keith Khan’s latest production, two characters of different ethnicities and generations engage in instant text messaging and go on a journey of discovery.
The production from the United Kingdom, named The Accountants, which blends bold storytelling, spectacular dancing and dynamic visual effects, will be performed at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s Grand Theatre on September 27-28.
It forms the opening programme of the Asia+ Festival presented by the city’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
The three-month festival, which runs until November, aims to highlight outstanding artists from countries in Asia and beyond, especially those linked by the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s plan to develop a global trading network. A Middle East series has been added this year.
The central premise of The Accountants focuses on two of the largest and most populous nations in the world – China and India.
