The Globe and Mail reviews Hong Kong Exile's NINEEIGHT, choreographed by Natalie TY Gan.

"The fresh and exuberant category is represented by NINEEIGHT by Vancouver choreographer Natalie Tin Yin Gan, performed with gusto by Michelle Lui, Milton Lim and Alex Tam. The title refers to a style of absurdist comedy prolific in 1990s Hong Kong cinema.

Gan uses lightning fast projections to give a flash card history of Hong Kong. The dancers, meanwhile, are larking about, having fun as they make up physical games. There is a dark side, however, manifested in Remy Siu’s cacophonous score. Implicit in the piece is Hong Kong’s split personality, the free and easy former British colony now under mainland China control."
