GENDAI TOKYO shared the Asian arts special award with Up-Cycle with their amazing laser show at WU ASIA PACIFIC on Queen St.

The Asian Arts Special Award was won (shared) by Up-cycle Music (by Creative Art of Korea). Their music is a response to climate change from a uniquely artistic perspective. They use waste to make music – cellos from abandoned equipment, violins from thrown away plastic toys.

Outstanding Youth Performance was won by “Landscape of the Other Shore” from Shenzhen University, inspired by a European classic: Géricault’s painting and Georg Kaiser’s play The Raft of the Medusa. This young lady from Shenzhen called Ricky was there to collect the award.

Hahaha-Hamlet won the Outstanding Show award last Tuesday. We loved this “captivating reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tale, blending original musical with dark humour [..and..] intertwining the struggles of contemporary Hongkongers with Hamlet's timeless tale”.
