Through the lens of Hong Kong 无厘头 (mo lei tau) cinema, NINEEIGHT re-imagines an era of frenzied nostalgia before and after the transfer of Hong Kong’s sovereignty to the Republic of China in 1997. NINEEIGHT is commissioned by CanAsian Dance and will officially premier at Toronto’s Kick Start Festival in April 2014.
Dear HK: at this fateful time, I would like to live out all of your wildest fantasies.
