Bhagavad Gita｜Show Introduction

Bhagavad Gita — Tang Shu-wing x Chong Mui Nam x Mandy Wong x Chu Pak Him

“How Can One Enjoy the True Pleasure if They Haven’t Felt the Real Pain?” — Tang Shu-wing's most remarkable work over times

An Eternal Chant from Heaven

Bhagavad Gita, which originated from the world-renowned epic Mahabharata, is a true philosophical poem that has had a profound impact on literature and spirituality worldwide. “Bhagavad” refers to “The Venerable”; Bhagavad Gita means the “Chant of God”. The dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, a warrior, reveals the three paths of Indian Yoga: Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga.

By fulfilling their “Dharma” without selfish motives, everyone can be liberated from the wheel of samsara and granted the state of moksha. Bhagavad Gita is a poem where all of us can learn the truth through life and death. It can help individuals discover their path in this unsettling world.

A Creation That Transcends Theatre

Tang Shu-wing and Chong Mui Ngam, collaborating again after Titus 2.0, have crafted a masterpiece that distills their personal reflections on Bhagavad Gita. The surrealistic and mythological theatre space design offers a glimpse of transcending life and death, with famous actress Mandy Wong and actor Chu Pak Him, and a group of outstanding designers and energetic performers to create an innovate and ground-breaking theatrical experience. It is an artistic creation that surpasses the boundaries of theatre.
