Fifth anniversary celebrations
Freespace features the largest black box theatre in Hong Kong, making it a perfect home for bold and boundary-pushing performance experiences to take place. Marking the event space’s fifth anniversary is an innovative high-energy and cross-disciplinary performance by ISH Dance Collective.
Dedicated to exploring the possibilities of street culture and art, ISH Dance Collective’s performance seamlessly blends the physicality of breakdance, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX riding, and freerunning in a theatrical setting. Also accompanying this performance are original live electronic and orchestral music by acclaimed cellist Annie Tangberg and violinist Vera van der Bie and a meticulous scenographic design.
