BackBursting into a magical world of poetry and text
A journey that intwines seeing, hearing and feeling
My name is Forget-Me-Not. I forgot.
Marchember is an extra month in the year. I forgot.
During Marchember, I arrive by train at a tropical paradise where rare fish swim, mushrooms inhale and exhale, and houses are built like pyramids… Welcome to K City, where you can find hope, indifference or serenity among busy streets. We hope you won’t forget.
Following the success of Buried Child in 2017, the HKRep invites Travis Preston, former Dean of the CalArts School of Theater and Founding Artistic Director for the CalArts Center for New Performance, to return to direct this devised theatre adaptation of Artistic Director Poon Wai Sum’s fantasy novel about K City, deconstructing the textual mysteries in search of hidden spiritual realms with arts tech elements. Together they create a new stage aesthetic in an all-round sensory experience.
