Make & Believe
Jan 13 – 28, 2024
Venue: F Hall, Tai Kwun
Developed from the theatrical-installation performance We are for real in 2023, Make & Believe transposes the narrative into an exhibition space, inviting audiences to roam free amidst theatrical components to create a personal and intimate experience. The exhibition offers a multi-sensory encounter, embodying the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) which seamlessly integrates objects, scenography, lighting and soundscapes to foster the active observation of audiences. Unlike the conventional story-driven theatre space, audiences are liberated from the unidirectional visual perspective of the spectator seats and are subsumed into an all-around narrative spectacle, eradicating the distinctions between fiction and reality as the line between theatre and exhibition blurs.
Ms Orlean Lai, Curator and Producer of Make & Believe, said “In the exhibition, we intend to reference to some conceptual framework and mode of viewing from theatre, and make appropriation of them into exhibition. We want to invite audiences to take part in a collective ‘conspiracy’, immersing themselves in the scenography of the exhibition where performers are absent, and rediscover the independent performative qualities of scenery, installations, lighting and soundscapes through the collation of multiple elements, piecing together fragments of existence and non-existence, reality, ‘the truth’ and imagination. Through different senses, to delve deeper into this ‘staged exhibition’ and enjoy the meticulously crafted scenography.”
Ms Winsome Chow, Chief Executive of HKADC, said “Arts tech is the development trend. Through ARTS • TECH Exhibition 2.0, we want to develop a new and broader platform for artistic pursuits. Make & Believe, a blend of theatre performance and multi-disciplinary creation, will certainly bring a unique arts experience to the audience.”
Collaborating artists include Tung Wing-hong (mechanical installation), Ng Tsz-kwan (mechanical installation), Ho Sin-tung (text/painting/installation), Human Wu (scenography), Lam Lai (music/soundscape) and Lau Ming-hang (lighting). For a holistic experience, the exhibition also includes special sessions of two sets of programmes with music performance and live performance. For the music performance, musicians will perform a brand-new composition by Lam Lai, that will blend with the soundscape installations to render a fascinating listening experience. Creative performers from We are for real will come together in live performance to unleash a new site-referential performance. These captivating moments will harmoniously guide audiences through the meticulously crafted artistic landscapes that make up the exhibition, embarking on unique artistic journeys.
