A number of programmes brought by local arts and cultural groups will be staged at the Festival, including: The dance theatre Vaster Far than the Ocean, jointly created by dancers and choreographers from Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao, that combines the traditional arts and crafts of bamboo scaffolding with contemporary dance, to be staged on 20 May and 21 May. The children’s musical The Story of Kong Yiji, which turns the well-known short story Kong Yiji by Lu Xun into a family show, will be staged on 21 May and 22 May, inviting audiences of all ages to see the world through the eyes of the little waiter. The Macau Experimental Theatre takes the nine tones of Cantonese as the concept and presents the multimedia soundscape theatre Nine Soundscapes, in which actors from different backgrounds and four musicians with different instruments use the nine sounds and six tones in Cantonese to create nine everyday life episodes about the intricate emotions of modern people and depict the rhythm of the city. The programmes are rich and diverse in content and should not be missed by art aficionados. A limited number of tickets are still available for purchase.

IC will strictly follow the relevant anti-epidemic guidelines of the Health Bureau and implement appropriate measures for cultural activities.
