The Indian dancer. The British Indian Army. The lost pearls in Tai Po. The cormorants that are forced to migrate. Which of them belongs here, and which ought to live in the fringe?

Uday Sathala came from India to Hong Kong to pursue his dreams in dancing. Hong Kong provided him with the opportunities he always longed for, followed by a sense of alienness due to his differences with the locals. This bizarre city triggered the memories of his hometown–Hyderabad.

This unique solo play covers various styles from traditional to contemporary Indian dance, which will be rich in gestural vocabulary telling the stories of Hong Kong, Tai Po and Hyderabad.

Premiere on July 2022

Produced by BEYOND Bollywood & Centre for Community Cultural Development

Playwright: Augustine Mok / Performer: Uday Sathala / Director: Indy Lee

此獨特的獨角戲由BEYOND Bollywood及社區文化發展中心製作。它以不同的舞蹈風格呈現，從傳統到當代的印度舞蹈，融合豐富的手勢語彙講述香港、大埔和海德拉巴的故事。

敘述中包含了一位印度舞者Uday Sathala的經歷。他為追求舞蹈夢想而來到香港，雖然這座城市為他提供了渴望已久的機遇，但他卻因文化差異而感到疏離。這種奇特的城市氛圍引發了他對家鄉海德拉巴的回憶。

此外，演出還融入了環保概念，旨在提升觀眾對自然的關注與保護意識。透過舞蹈與敘事，這部作品不僅展現了跨文化的深刻反思，也倡導對自然環境的珍視。
