Brief Introduction:

Hailed as “a choreographer’s choreographer” by Lin Hwai-min, Helen Lai is critically acclaimed for her emotionally charged dance theatre. Her new work Tales of Two Cities tells the stories of the two most dynamic cities in China- Shanghai and Hong Kong- through the life and works of Eileen Chang, the most gifted Chinese writer to emerge in the 1940s.

Through the eyes of Eileen Chang in her twilight years, Lai re-constructs Chang's life and times with intriguing flashbacks of her golden days and the characters she created in her masterpieces. Presented and performed by City Contemporary Dance Company, the leading modern dance company in Hong Kong, Tales of Two Cities is specially commissioned for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
