Hong Kong Voices: "The Banquet at elBulli"—Premiere
Varied on the short story by Ping-Kwan Leung
Semi-staged cantata | Sung in Cantonese with Chinese and English surtitles
“They attended the banquet as promised—had they got something to tell us?”
A writer and his old friends embarked on a gastronomic pilgrimage and arrived at the legendary molecular gastronomy restaurant elBulli one night; along with a young poet and a dancer, they savoured the various tastes of life, nostalgic or melancholic, astounding or forgiving...
“The Banquet at elBulli” from Postcolonial Affairs of Food and the Heart is a short story by the late Hong Kong writer Ping-Kwan Leung. Led by conductor Grace Chiang, local chamber choir Hong Kong Voices collaborates with theatre practitioner Clement Lee and composer Daniel Lo; together we present to you this reconstructed “banquet” in the form of a semi-staged cantata, returning to the ritual origin of performing arts and initiating a dialogue between music, literature and theatre.
