The Story of K City
29 July - 10 August
$210 – $420EVENT DESCRIPTION
This summer, the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre combines text and art tech in a unique immersive theatre production. Following the 2017 production of Buried Child, the HKRep invites Travis Preston to return to direct The Story of K City, Based on the fantasy novella by HKRep Artistic Director Poon Wai Sum. Together they create a new stage aesthetic in an all-round sensory experience.
The Story of K City traces a dream-like journey of the character Forget-Me-Not, who bears witness to the relationship between a city and its people, touching on childhood and fleeting fun times, the sorrow of being forgotten and the feeling of being alone. In this work, audiences can find hope, indifference or peace amidst a city’s hustle and bustle. Deconstructing the text as devised theatre, this show uses real-time video, 3D soundscape, motion tracking and AI image processing to enrich stage aesthetics.
