Presented by Hong Kong Dance Company (HKDance) and co-produced by The TENG Company of Singapore, Voyage of the Eight Graces is proudly sponsored by China Merchants Foundation. This original new work draws inspiration from the cultural essence of the traditional Chinese “Eight Graces”: Music, Go, Calligraphy, Painting, Poetry, Fragrance, Flowers, and Tea. Blending traditional and contemporary theatrical forms, this production elegantly embodies the refined aesthetic of the East. The TENG Ensemble moves beyond classical convention, performing live across a fusion of musical idioms, while the dancers use their body language to explore the spirit of the “Eight Graces”, in contemplating the meaning of life.

HKDance partners with international artists to spark bold cultural exchange and creative experimentation, commissioning Xuannian Space to create an original contemporary dance work. Choreographers Shi Xuan and Zhou Niannian, active in both China and Germany, navigate fluidly between Eastern and Western cultures. Drawing on their cross-disciplinary creative practice, they have developed a nuanced and distinctive artistic language that explores the dynamic relationships between the body, society, and the natural world.

The Silence We Carry

Hong Kong Cultural Centre

Wayfaring Beyond is an original work that reimagines the possibilities of human gesture and spirit through a new form of dance. Taking inspiration from the work of Zhuangzi – the ancient Chinese philosopher who questioned the value of evaluating life through the binary perspective of “perfection” and “imperfection” – the performance guides the audience from “seeing each other” to “seeing themselves”. Through the introspective and body-focused practices of dance, para dance sport and martial arts, the piece showcases an innate state of spiritual and physical freedom.
