Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth at Tai Kwun Contemporary


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth, the world’s first post-cinematic choreographic installation, refracts, evolves and reimagines dance performance in a startlingly original new form of experience.      

Co-produced by Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Ballet, and Studio Wayne McGregor, London, the 57-minute programme is set within Jeffrey Shaw and Sarah Kenderdine’s radically immersive, panoramic, 360-degree stereoscopic, 12k LED, 26-million-pixel nVis screen, where 3D imagery is experienced within an enveloping, large-scale cylindrical architecture of eight metres wide and four metres tall. Created in collaboration with artists Ravi Deepres and Theresa Baumgartner, and combining dance, choreography, digital imaging, spatialised sound, and AI, McGregor once again redefines how we think about movement, the body, and performance.    

Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth breaks the fourth wall as visitors are invited into the heart of the dance, connecting in close contact with the hyperreal dancers of Company Wayne McGregor and the Hong Kong Ballet. Never encountered in the same way twice, groups of up to 20 people will experienceWayne McGregor: On The Other Earth’s visual and sonic landscapes unfolding before them in a series of thought-provoking otherworldly encounters and intimate interplay, upending our perceptions of performance and the future of entertainment.
