Our Atlas

#PerformanceInstallation    

Artistic Director’s Notes:

Looking at our own reflection in the mirror, we are reminded of our life cycles.
How many people have passed by behind the reflections of the past?
Is it you or me, him or her?
Have memories left any traces behind?

Traces of a moment…
Traces of temperature…
Traces of the time…

There’s a lightness that lives in between joy and sorrow.
Perhaps, our lives don’t always have to be great.

Together we’ll build an atlas of our own. Together, we’ll rise and form a landscape, of people who navigate themselves aimlessly in this never-ending urban maze.

Our Atlas was originally conceived as a nine-day interactive installation in Tai Kwun’s Parade Ground in February 2020 during the 48th Hong Kong Arts Festival, accompanied by interactive performances and pop-up activities.
