Stepping Up｜Concert x Circus Performance Introduction

Since the opening of Tai Kwun, regular Performing Arts programmes such as “Afternoon Series”, “Saturday Music at Laundry Steps”, and “The Hearth” have heralded a unique performing arts scene by inviting emerging local artists to curate and develop mini-concerts, dance, theatre, comedy and multi-disciplinary performances for the unique environment at Tai Kwun. While offering audiences a reprieve from the flurry of activities in Central, these regular performances also provide a supportive space to nurture artists in the community.

To celebrate Tai Kwun’s 5th anniversary, a special programme, “Stepping Up”, will be held over the long weekend of May 26 – 28, featuring musicians, comedians and circus artists who have worked and grown with Tai Kwun. The music performance on 26 May, curated by music producer Janet Yau who has collaborated with Tai Kwun since 2018, will showcase a diverse mixture of classical Western music to contemporary Chinese music, from standard ensemble to mixed ensemble. On 27 – 28 May, circus newcomers and veterans will return with Circus Box, who made their debut performance at Tai Kwun in 2020.

The long weekend performance will be hosted by Vivek Mahbubani, a local sought-after stand-up comedian who is one of the first artists to perform at Laundry Steps since Tai Kwun’s opening. Visitors are welcome to come and enjoy these first-rate and vibrant performances in the inviting atmosphere of the Laundry Steps.
