Emo Circus at Running Out of Space


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Do artists create out of ‘Emo’, or do they inevitably fall into ‘Emo’ because they create?

“Artists’ eyes filled with sorrow / Tears of sculptures / Future generations say there’re none.” In Ivana Wong’s song “Lost in Art”, she states that artists are the ones who unlock the doors of thought for others. Yet when they step through the ‘Ghost Gate’ onto a stage, behind their exquisite or comical masks, no one knows the truth — that the performers are in fact “little pebbles” described by Shuntarō Tanikawa in his poem: “Time / has made me / dull; My sharp edges / worn smooth / by the ripples of days.”

Six young Hong Kong artists, drawing from the things they have long held dear and emotional, parody the roles of circus performers. With difficult skill, they stage a thrilling inner drama for the audience. Their works are packed with hardship, exaggeration, absurdity, and bizarre light and dust — all hidden in a secret realm that you can enter with just a free ticket, where emotion completely takes over.
