The performance Encounters: Audiovisual Mapping of St. Paul's Ruins, commissioned by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and staged during the 22nd Macao Arts Festival, will be revived for 10 consecutive nights, from 26th August to 4th September, with two performances at 8:00pm and 9:00pm each night at the Ruins of St. Paul's. Admission is free. Commissioned by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, the performance Encounters: Audiovisual Mapping of St. Paul's Ruins was produced by the Barcelona-based Telenoika Mapping team with support from the agency Panda Artist Management. Utilising cutting-edge audiovisual technology, coupled with uniquely structured images and original music, this stunning production was staged at Macao's landmark Ruins of St. Paul's. The show depicts various chapters in the site's and the city's history, from the arrival of the Portuguese in Macao and the fire that destroyed much of St. Paul's to the more modern development of the city and its diverse cultural characteristics. The creative visual composition and compelling content gives new, vivid, modern life to this ancient and significant locale. Performances of the show during the Macao Arts Festival in May this year attracted impressive numbers of residents and tourists. The public's enjoyment of the projections instantly sparked heated discussions on the Internet and among the younger generation, who spread the word about the show to every corner of the city. With exposure to worldwide audiences via the Internet, the audiovisual performance was, and continues to be, enthusiastically received both at home and abroad. The revival of Encounters: Audiovisual Mapping of St. Paul's Ruins is scheduled to run for 10 consecutive nights, from 26th August to 4th September, with two performances at 8:00pm and 9:00pm each night at the Ruins of St. Paul's. As outdoor performances are easily influenced by inclement or serious weather conditions, such as typhoons, the organiser has made the following arrangements: In the event there is rain at 7:00pm on the evening of the show, the organiser will cancel the 8:00pm performance. If the rain persists until 8:00pm, the 9:00pm performance will also be cancelled. In the event a Tropical Cyclone Signal No. 3 or above, or a Rainstorm Signal / Thunderstorm Warning, is hoisted by the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau and is in effect at 3:00pm on the day of the show, both the 8:00pm and 9:00pm performances will be cancelled. Even if the signal is lowered at or before 8:00pm, the shows will remain cancelled. Residents may keep abreast of last-minute schedule changes on the Cultural Affairs Bureau website. To better manage the size of audiences and congestion in the viewing area, the organiser recommends viewing the show on weekdays, if possible.
