Lingnan Arts Festival features international and local arts on campus
The arts gala “Lingnan Arts Festival 2016” will be held from 2 to 30 March, featuring a rich cornucopia of musical and cultural events on campus. Organised by the Faculty of Arts of Lingnan University, this annual event provides an opportunity for teachers and students of the University and the public to experience the unique liberal arts atmosphere at Lingnan.
Opening Event of this year’s Lingnan Arts Festival on 3 March will present the Shakespearean Play – Titus Andronicus 2.0 performed by the Tang Shu-wing Theatre Studio. Regarded as the goriest work of Shakespeare, it hailed as one of the most significant events of Hong Kong contemporary theatre for its First Run in 2009 and has been taken on tour to six cities in Europe and Asia. Director Tang Shu-wing takes an audacious and ground-breaking approach in presenting the revenge classic of the Roman General Titus by story-telling in physical theatre with live music and body language.
