Programme brief:

Is distance merely a measurement? Just a number?
Can it be experienced physically? And, conceptually? 
What is sitting there within the space between the two points anyway?

As a cross-disciplinary art event, including live performances and film screenings, “Distance —  Between HK & UK” invites the audience to experience “distance” physically and conceptually.  With movements and lights, performing artists will invite the audience to reimagine a different in-between space that echoes the stories in the screenings.
