Xiqu Centre, West Kowloon Cultural District | WestK Cabaret Nights: A Night of Stories by Marc Ngan, Yeung Chun-to, Chloe Wong and Kenix Tsang

Description

Marc Ngan – Hong Kong: Where Dreams Come True?

Born and raised in Australia, Marc Ngan packed his bag 14 years ago and left for Hong Kong to reconnect with his roots. The journey has been rough, but 14 years on, the hardships and sacrifices seem to have been worth it. Now in his 30s, Marc feels an immense desire and responsibility to give back, through this short piece of work, to the city which has given him so much. 

Yeung Chun-to – In what world do you think it’s a good idea?

Have you ever looked at an artist and wondered, “but why?”

This semi-autobiographical musical experience looks at the unique mental wiring of an artist, and the chaos of the creative industry. Through a lively blend of jazz, hip-hop and witty lyrics, we peek into a world of split personas, feelings of imposter syndrome, outbursts of productivity, long stretches of uninspired work, the psychological tug of war between appearing too shy and appearing too arrogant, and the ever-present question “In what world do you think it’s a good idea?”

Chloe Wong – Scent-Sing, Sensing

Our sense of smell can often bring to mind deep and important memories. Scent-Sing, Sensing is a short cabaret act based on the concept of scent. A specific perfume is chosen for the night, with songs selected from classic and contemporary musicals to complement the top, heart and base notes of the perfume. Join us for a night of sensory experiences and explore the world of scent, music and storytelling.

Kenix Tsang – Life’s Struggles

Soprano Kenix Tsang recounts personal life experiences through storytelling and songs.

Performance order subject to change.
