Year: 2018

Produced by: Produced by fu-GEN Asian Canadian Theatre Company, Hong Kong Exile and the Theatre Centre

Creative Team: David Yee | Playwright: David Yee

Synopsis: Seven original stories begin in a mall and quickly diverge—catapulting across cities, between Cantonese and English, in and out of the afterlife, and through past, present and future. Through live performance and a micro-to-macro camera apparatus, No Foreigners weaves together text, miniatures and media design as it attempts to unpack what is at the heart of “Chineseness” and what the future can hold for all of us visitors and settlers.

Synopsis: Eatingthegames is a provocative keynote-performance by Hong Kong Exile featuring Conor Wylie, blending East and West, business and art. Set against rising China-Canada trade ties, the piece critiques global capital and investment culture through the lens of a charismatic entrepreneur. Inspired by real events, it explores ethics, ambition, and the theatrics of finance, using a multidisciplinary approach to question the risks and desires driving international commerce. A hybrid of lecture, performance, and satire, eatingthegame stages business as theatre.

Creative Team: A Multi-media Gallery Installation
Created by Hong Kong Exile (Natalie Tin Yin Gan, Remy Siu, and Milton Lim)
In collaboration with Centre A Gallery, Zoe Lam, and Howie Tsui

Synopsis: 越界/粵界 (transgression/cantosphere) is an immersive installation that urgently celebrates Cantonese language and culture amid political erasure and cultural loss. Drawing from Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement and the gentrification of Vancouver’s Chinatown, the work transforms the tonal intricacies of Cantonese into multisensory experiences—audio, visual, and tactile. It invites speakers into an intimate space of linguistic play and cultural affirmation, asserting language as resistance and Chinatown as a vital sanctuary for Cantonese identity in a time of displacement and transformation.
