				<title><![CDATA[DanceArt Hong Kong to perform post-modern dance theatre "In Search of Hui Sin" ($160, $200)]]></title>			
				
				<description><![CDATA[The locally acclaimed arts group, DanceArt Hong Kong, will perform its latest production, a post-modern dance theatre entitled "In Search of Hui Sin", in June. With a breathtaking collage of images, this post-modern dance production explores the intricate love/power relationship between man, beast and demon and reveals the significance of an ancient folktale in a contemporary setting. It goes in search of Hui Sin who seems to be lost in the 1000-year-old legend. History places itself between isolation and continuity, casting a cold eye over the world's emotions and contemplating the spirits that roam the unceasing desert winds. For this new production and interpretation, scriptwriter and director Ho Ying-fung collaborates with artistic director of DanceArt Hong Kong Francis Leung, independent artist Kung Chi-shing, veteran dancer Su Shu, members of DanceArt Hong Kong and various cross-discipline artists. This multi-angled and multi-faceted theatrical concept gives the audience cause to reflect on the big picture, while the dancers' courage and honesty takes them on a journey into the unknown. This is what DanceArt Hong Kong is all about. <br/><font color="#FF850B"><b>Ticketing Agent: </b>URBTIX</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.urbtix.hk/internet/action/event.do?actionFwd=eventEMagSrch&pageNum=0&eMaganzineKeywordSearch=DanceArt%20Hong%20Kong%20to%20perform%20post%2Dmodern%20dance%20theatre%20In%20Search%20of%20Hui%20Sin&venueFacility=HKACSH&performanceDate=20130621&lang=en&actionType=5" target="eMag">Internet Booking</a><br/><font color="#FF850B"><b>Venue: </b>Hong Kong Arts Centre (Shouson Theatre)</font><br/><font color="#FF850B"><b>Date/Time: </b>21 - 22 Jun 2013 (Fri to Sat)</font>]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Switzerland's highly acclaimed Geneva Ballet will visit Hong Kong in July for performances of a new representation of Shakespeare's eternally appealing tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". The production is choreographed by Jo&euml;lle Bouvier. For Bouvier, it is not the picturesque and historical aspects of Prokofiev's ballet that count, but the universality of the fable. This is why Bouvier avoids prescribing a precise era on stage, and uses extracts from Prokofiev's three orchestral suites with the choreography concentrated on the essential articulations of this timeless drama.<br/><font color="#FF850B"><b>Ticketing Agent: </b>URBTIX</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.urbtix.hk/internet/action/event.do?actionFwd=eventEMagSrch&pageNum=0&eMaganzineKeywordSearch=Geneva%20Ballet%20to%20perform%20new%20interpretation%20of%20Romeo%20and%20Juliet%20in%20July&venueFacility=CCGT&performanceDate=20130719&lang=en&actionType=5" target="eMag">Internet Booking</a><br/><font color="#FF850B"><b>Venue: </b>Hong Kong Cultural Centre (Grand Theatre)</font><br/><font color="#FF850B"><b>Date/Time: </b>19 - 21 Jul 2013 (Fri to Sun)</font>]]></description>
