Work

Once the Muse Speaks

Once the Muse Speaks is based on the life stories and creative works of four distinguished and revolutionary artists: Chinese novelist Eileen Chang, Spanish surrealistic painter Dali, German opera writer Wagner and French dramatist Artaud. It delivers a ground-breaking and revolting presentation of the Devising Theatre.

Thrice awarded Best Director, director Andrew Chan led the actors in exploring the Theatre of Cruelty, through which the performance is devised with avant-garde spirit. The life and death, as well as love and hate, embedded in the masterpieces of the four artists are to be unleashed with poetic imagery language of the stage.Once the Muse Speaks was presented to universal critical acclaim at Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei after its Hong Kong premiere.
