Co-presented by M+ Live Art and Hong Kong Dance Company (HKDance), M+ Live Art x HKDance: Echoing Shanshui activates the exhibition Shanshui: Echoes and Signals on view at the museum’s South Galleries. The performances offer a sensorial experience to investigate the cultural legacy integral to Chinese philosophical thinking and poetic imagination of shanshui through the art of dance.

Choreographed by Yang Yuntao, artistic director at the HKDance, and the performers, the performances explore the concept of the passage of time and create dialogues between space and time, vision and imagination. By activating Lee Ufan’s work Relatum—The Mirror Road (2021/2024), Isamu Noguchi’s sculptures Cloud Mountain (1982–1983), and Vivian Wang and Aqilah Misuary’s Drawn to Light (2024), the performances make the complex connections between landscape and humanity in our post-industrial world tangible.

This performance will be approximately 30 minutes per session on selected Saturdays. Please refer to the event date and time for details. No registration is required.
