zeitgeist.jpgZeitgeist is a retrospective of Zen Zen Zo’s Butoh inspired dance-theatre works since 2000. Drawing from the critically acclaimed productions Unleashed, Those with Lucifer, and most recently Zen Zen Zo’s international collaborations with American band The Dresden Dolls, Zeitgeist is a collection of raw and provocative pieces that reflect “the spirit (Geist) of our times (Zeit)”. This groundbreaking work asks the question, how do we as human beings meet ourselves, each other, and the earth at the turn of the new Millennium? The answer is at times heart-breaking, at others humorous, but ultimately hopeful, as the dancers weave together physical theatre, poetic ritual, burlesque, camp, and comedy in Zen Zen Zo’s hallmark style.

Hong Kong: Fa Hoi Fu Kwai

A GREAT SUCCESS!

"Last night’s performance [Hong Kong: Fa Hoi Fu Kwai] to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the ESF was outstanding. I was overwhelmed by the impact of the performance. The opportunity for our students to take their performance skills to this level is going to impact on them for many years. I heard people around me saying that this was the best theatre they have seen in years!"

(Chris Durbin – Secondary Education Advisor ESF)


Hong Kong: Fa Hoi Fu Kwai, performed for the first time in Hong Kong last week, loosely translated as “the blossom opens, and all prospers". The show examined the history and progress of Hong Kong from small Chinese fishing village to major international city. The narrative uncovered the ongoing impact of colonisation and tracked Hong Kong's shifting identity. The heartbeat of the work focused on the city’s ability to transform and thrive "against all odds". The production also took on a similar theme last week as Zen Zen Zo directors, Lynne Bradley, Steven Mitchell Wright, Noa Rotem & Shane Jones, along with their Hong Kong casts and crew, faced an endless series of obstacles… tempests, illness, injury, monstrous technical hurdles and the Rugby 7s! The production, nonetheless, blossomed and was a huge success, with the 70 participating students from the ESF International Schools of Hong Kong showing their true warrior spirit. Zen Zen Zo would like to thank them all for their courage and hard work, and a super huge thank you goes out to Ian Baker – for making it all happen.
