More than sword-crossing in linguistic faux pas, Chinglish is the work of David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) at its most cross-culturally fluent, if grammatically incorrect. The New York based Tony Award-winning playwright has concocted this romantic, sexy comedy in which an American businessman looking to score a lucrative contract in the Mainland meets and falls for a government official. In the midst of hilarious mistranslations, he finds himself caught in the turmoil of power, love and money. Will he be lost in translation?
A cinematic musical fairy tale for children and adults alike. Not for the faint-hearted, this piece takes you into a stylised dystopian metropolis, where curtain-twitchers and peeping-toms live side by side, and the wolf always at the door.
Like a giant three-dimensional graphic novel, the aesthetic anarchy created by the inventive multi-disciplinary London-based company 1927 comes with wicked animation synchronised with live music.
Hailed by The Times as “one of the UK's most exciting young companies, festooned in acclaim, their upwards trajectory as yet unchecked”, the multiple award-winning company has caught audiences and critics unguarded with their fearsome creativity in this production with sold-out performances in the UK, Australia and France.
Is this a cautionary tale, paranoia or brutal reality?
Trust no one. Suspect even your shadow.
見倒呢個介紹,又話有tim burton既feel,見百零蚊就買到最貴既飛,就決定買喇!
又同mouse trap一樣,full house,九成外國人……………
我又一個小毒女入場……
成個故事都full of black humour,雖然係幾好笑
但諗返起,其實好多都好悲哀
成棟Bayou既人其實只需要世人關心,得到同等對待,但永遠被外界視為滋事份子
入面所有人都有唔同陰暗面
有時諗,你話Bayou d人衰咩,佢又唔係
但就唔係好人囉.....sosad
好喇,思緒開始整頓唔倒
睇個時係笑得好開心既,但諗起Bayou入面既人,小朋友又好大人又好
有時就好似某d弱勢社群咁,努力反抗,但永遠都好似注定被遺忘或忽視咁
尤其臨尾捉左d小朋友入個工場,每日比一粒藥佢地食,改造佢地個腦,希望令佢地唔再搞事個時
呢幕好深刻,覺得好恐怖
雖然主角個女係救返出黎,但永遠都仲有d想為自己strive for d好basic既生活所需既小朋友
