PAD02 | Rehearsal of Dunhuang (provisional title) (excerpts) by Hong Kong Ballet

The programme is offered by Hong Kong Ballet in support of the "New to the Theatre: School Culture Day Scheme 2026/27".

About the Programme

Dunhuang is a new ballet with a theme of 'returning to the self' by Hong Kong Ballet's Choreographer-in-Residence Hu Song Wei Ricky and co-choreographer Mai Jingwen.  Drawing inspiration from Dunhuang art, Eastern philosophy and Hermann Hesse's novel Siddhartha, the original ballet reimagines its protagonist within imagined landscapes of the Mogao Caves and the Silk Road.  The meaningful work invites audiences to embark—through light, imagery and movement—on a personal journey of reflection and inner awakening.
