Hong Kong artist Rolland Cheung Wui-hei’s solo exhibition “New Natural” breaks two-dimensional artistic boundaries by integrating resin art with light, motion sensors, sound and mechanical installations in an immersive experience exploring humanity’s relationship with nature. Featuring the largest resin artwork in Hong Kong, the show, which runs from May 9 to June 2, presents 10 new pieces that evoke natural forms such as glaciers and sand dunes.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Iconic Broadway rock ’n’ roll musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch will be presented in Hong Kong for the first time from May 10 to 18 at the West Kowloon Cultural District. Premiered in 1998, the play follows Hedwig, an East Berliner whose botched gender-affirming surgery sets her on a path of revenge with her band. It has been adapted into multiple languages, though this is the first time it will be performed in Cantonese.
