《在…之中》

內容簡介：

受全球疫情啟發「疫症歌劇」，是嶄新的線上虛擬多媒體歌劇演出。《在…之中》是以2019年開始的疫情為題材，並以一些來自香港和世界各地的詩作為靈感來源，而這些詩作都是以疫情、口罩及未來願景為題。這部歌劇將會像電視連續劇般 (每一至兩個月一集) 於各社交媒體上作串流播放 (@in.the.midst.of）。該節目運用了不同的音樂風格、中西樂器和來自世界各地的樂器、電子音樂、詩人、歌劇唱者、粵劇唱者等等的聲音來進行音樂和多媒體創作。是次製作會以廣東話、英語及普通話為主唱語言。

Synopsis: Pandemic opera is a new format of opera due to the pandemic that began in 2019 which will be presented online without geographical and time constraints. “In the midst of…” is a multi-media work that takes inspiration from different poems written by outstanding poets from Hong Kong and various places worldwide. The opera’s theme and artistic presentation are related to pandemic, masks, and future possibilities.
