Shanghai Expo – Hong Kong Week Closing Performance
Hong Kong Sinfonietta: A Soldier’s Story

In Hong Kong & Shanghai, Oct 2010

A collaboration of MUSIC, DANCE, and NARRATION
In this crossover production, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Music Director Yip Wing-sie and renowned choreographer Yuri Ng recreate the Faustian dark tale of the soldier who traded his violin for a book of fortune.  Four leading Asian dance artists: Huang Lei, Shirai Tsuyosho, Jay Jen Loo and Abby Chan will dance to Stravinsky’s witty, highly infectious and intricately written work, The Soldier’s Tale, played by an ensemble of seven musicians.  Actor Chu Pak-him, narrating a Chinese text adapted by writer Michael Lam, will portray the devil as well as a merciless commentator.

To complete the programme, the orchestra will play two other musical gems by Stravinsky aptly chosen for the context.  The neo-classical work Jeu de Cartes (The Card Game), originally written for a Balanchine ballet, may be recalled during the twists and turns in The Soldier’s Tale, when the soldier became remorseful of his pact with the devil and challenged the devil to a card game, hoping to restore his original life by losing everything he greedily acquired with the devil’s power.  The other work, Three Pieces for Clarinet Solo, was written by the composer in gratitude to the sponsor of The Soldier’s Tale during the First World War, the piece will be performed by Principal Clarinet Fong Hiu-kai, Johnny.

Apart from the Hong Kong performance on 15 Oct, this exciting production will also be the closing performance of the Hong Kong Week at the Shanghai World Expo, being also a programme of the China Shanghai International Arts Festival.

建設城市理想生活，盡情領略生命的岌岌可危，遠離夢想更遠一步
亮點擁有不斷擴建的乾旱桑拿，超凡豪雨蒸氣浴，悠然全極端氣候
坐享全球水位上升最高位置，飽覽壯觀冰川溶解世界奇景
打造敗壞生態環境，彰顯史上最強漏油本色，360度火山灰環抱大自然
美麗土地逐漸消失，人類動物頻臨絕種
地球滅亡，近在伬尺
那～ 將會是尊貴的你；未來最想擁有的嗎？

Technology evolves, desires expand, do our lives become more comfortable, or more hectic?

Will history, culture and traditions diminish with the evolution of developments?

How to preserve cultural traditions alongside developments?

How could modern men find a balancing point facing the dichotomy of civilizations/developments/technology and history/culture/traditions?

The cultural crash between the contemporary performing arts elites of Hong Kong and Poland for the first time will explore the intricate relations of cultural traditions and modern technology in today’s world.

RE/evolution is an Exchange / Co-creation Project of Y-Space (HK) and Silesian Dance Theatre (Poland). The work will have its world premiere in Hong Kong in May, and will tour to Poland in participation of the 17th Annual International Contemporary Dance Conference & Performance Festival in 2010.

“Y-Space was excellent….The choreography is well executed. Their performance cuts across cultures”
– The Herald

Luminski has developed a new dance form and style based on the rich cultural traditions of Poland. The company has toured extensively in Europe and the States. Since 1994, SDT organizes the Annual International Contemporary Dance Conference and Performance Festival, which attracted performing groups from around the world.
