Toolbox Percussion Limited

Toolbox Percussion has been driving percussive arts programming in Hong Kong since 2012, curating ambitious music projects in innovative ways. Over the past seasons, Toolbox Percussion toured to Asia Culture Center at Gwangju in South Korea and made its US debut at the San Francisco International Arts Festival. Co-hosted with the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco in 2019, works of Toolbox Percussion were showcased in an exhibition titled “A Double Listen” for the first time in the United States. This sound-based exhibition became an ongoing project as a core production series, a scalable rerun was held at H Queen’s in June 2021, a site-specific edition for ArtisTree in August 2022, and the exhibition will be on tour at Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale in Summer 2023.

Toolbox Percussion is currently a three-year grantee of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.

Toolbox Manoeuvre

Percussion x Contemporary Dance x Literary Arts

Kafka speaks, the city stirs. Strange synthesis.
The train rages, footsteps hasten. Hustling existences.
The disoriented heart’s negotiating a new arrangement of reality. We’ll listen. Just listen.

An interdisciplinary performance based on the exotic world of Franz Kafka, a team of cross-media artists join forces to construct a dreamy and mystifying mindscape of contemporary life.
Choreographers Alice Ma and Wayson Poon will dance to new music and arrangements performed by Toolbox Percussion and Artistic Director Louis Siu.
