Hong Kong Sinfonietta
Stravinsky – The Soldier’s Tale
An ageless tale of temptation, greed and hopeful redemption that resonates through time.
One of Hong Kong’s flagship orchestras, Hong Kong Sinfonietta presents a unique version of Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale, specially reconceived and re-enacted as a “concert drama”, featuring young violinist Tseng Yu-chien, winner of the highest awarded prize in the International Tchaikovsky Competition 2015, and acclaimed dance artist Chen Wu-kang.
The drama unfolds from the first act as Tseng’s virtuosity on Bach’s Chaconne for Solo Violin attracts the attention of the devil, portrayed by Chen. He then gains fame and recognition over the course of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D, Op 35, accompanied by the Hong Kong Sinfonietta. An introspective second half of the evening sees the orchestra and dance artists relating a cautionary tale of the soldier/violinist who sacrifices his soul to the devil in exchange for fame, wealth and glory.
A Soldier’s Story – The New Generation is a production conceived in collaboration by Hong Kong Sinfonietta Music Director and Conductor Yip Wing-sie and choreographer Yuri Ng, with help from dance artists CHEN Wu-kang, Jay Jen Loo, Abby Chan and Hikaru Tsutagawa, and featuring a Mandarin libretto translated by Michael Lam.
The performance by Hong Kong Sinfonietta is financially supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Singapore, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

光合作用（Photosynthesis）：植物，有光就有命，將世界上的二氧化碳、水，轉化成葡萄糖同氧氣。氧氣釋回大氣，繼續循環，生生不息。
沒有光的日子，就是醞釀、等待、死亡。光之創作，鉅細無遺，從沒停下來。
生滅、聚散，光著身子來到地球，由「零」開始。說到底，靈魂走的時候，總會學到甚麼——縱使，只是一點點。
經歷講座、公開工作坊、多次實習，4位光之舞者聚過了，經歷光合作用——人、光、思、憶、情——不知有沒剩下葡萄糖？如今即將散開了，是回歸氧氣的時候了，誠邀閣下前來呼吸。

Abby Chan x INJURY
As the world becomes angrier, this video emphasize catching the exaggerated expressions, gestures and actions of rage. The issues may be different, but the anger expressed by people around the world is universally understood, like —– emoji. Film is a natural medium to explore the idea of uncontrollable emotions. The behavior can look cartoonish, clownish, or immature. Hopefully this humorous tone helps to drive home the idea that anger uncontrolled does benefits no one. ACTION (camera phrase) with good intention is in need.
Another attempt of this video is merging film, dance and the fashion design of INJURY together. The name INJURY – when you are being cut and sewn you are in a situation of INJURY same as fabrics. Same as people.
