Hong Kong

At Freespace, a performance centre located in the heart of the West Kowloon Cultural District, artist Gisèle Vienne will present Crowd, a captivating work that draws as much inspiration from music and cinema as it does from dance. Ola Maciejewska, with two shows born from her research into Loïe Fuller’s Serpentine Dance (1892), will invite the audience to consider the history of the discipline. Alessandro Sciarroni turns his attention to the question of repertoire through a traditional dance from the Bologna region in Italy, which is further explored in an open choreographic workshop. Meanwhile, Christian Rizzo will present two projects: a production from his repertoire, Sakınan göze çöp batar, performed by Turkish dancer Kerem Gelebek in an evening program shared with Greek choreographer Katerina Andreou, and a three-week creation workshop at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts involving eight local dancers. With Passages by Noé Soulier and Les Traceurs by Rachid Ouramdane, dance will occupy the urban landscape, opening up a dialogue with the city of Hong Kong and its imposing architecture. This event will also offer Noé Soulier and Alessandro Sciarroni the chance to lead initiation workshops.

The Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival expresses its commitment to supporting dance and sharing its passion with the broadest possible audience. I would like to thank all our partners for their contributions to this wonderful opportunity to celebrate the choreographic arts.
