Synopsis

Where are you from? No, where are you really from?

 

A trivial difference? Absolutely not!

 

The dynamic creative team behind the critically acclaimed Tri Ka Tsai – A uniquely trilingual Hong Kong cabaret—which sold out their run at Huayi 2023—returns to Singapore! They’re back with too many languages to count, armed with the next instalment of their hit cabaret series.

 

Anna and Rick perform in LauZone, an endlessly entertaining musical tribute to the myriad dialects in multicultural Hong Kong that are still spoken fluently mostly by the older immigrant generations, putting the spotlight on the bittersweet relationship younger Hong Kongers have with their ancestral roots.

 

A play on the colloquial Cantonese term “老兄” to describe non-Cantonese Hong Kong natives, LauZone is a melting pot brimming with an euphony of dialects including Cantonese, Putonghua, Chiuchow, Shanghainese and more. Packed with catchy songs in a diverse variety of musical styles and featuring lyrics that contain a variety of heartfelt and poignant perspectives, this is an unmissable evening that will pull at your heartstrings while making you laugh.

 

This work is commissioned by Tai Kwun and premiered in Tai Kwun Performing Arts Season: SPOTLIGHT 2021.
