Kakilang – HOME X
Performed at the Barbican‘s Pit HOME X is a visually spectacular virtual environment that fuses performers in London and Hong Kong in real-time utilising depth-sensing cameras that record 3D video. It is mythological and yet futuristic.
This ground-breaking experimental play incorporates live music, dance, and touching real-life tales of home and migration. A stunning 270-degree projection allows viewers to explore a virtual world filled with wonderful animals.
Live break dance performed by choreographers Suen Nam (Hong Kong) and Si Rawlinson (UK), along with an original score of live electronic music performed by An-Ting in the UK and opera vocalist Colette Lam in Hong Kong.
Award-winning organisation Kakilang (previously Chinese Arts Now) creates work that pioneers a wide range of Southeast and East Asian voices.
The performance will be in Cantonese, Mandarin and English with English subtitles.
