Internationally renowned dancer Mui Cheuk Yin from Hong Kong, talented choreographer ErGao (He Qiwo) from Guangzhou, and dancer Stella Ho from Macao have jointly created Vaster Far than the Ocean for the 32nd Macao Arts Festival. Based in different regions, they got inspired for this contemporary dance theatre by looking at the sea.
The three learnt traditional Chinese dance at an early age, and work as choreographers and creators, producing works which are balanced between traditional and contemporary dance. Vaster Far than the Ocean fuses traditional xiqu elements from Lingnan with a bamboo scaffolding installation designed by local stage designer Lam Ka Pik, creating an innovative performance and bringing a new viewing experience for the audience. As the dancers explore the possibilities of their bodies on the bamboo scaffolding, the audience will experience the beauty of traditional craft combining stage design.
