Description

The Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Office under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will organise a "Fun in ICH" Series – "Myth Breaker on Breaking Hell Gate and Nanyin". The troupe The Gong Strikes One will introduce the item of the Representative List of the ICH of Hong Kong, namely Nanyin, through a performance. 

Nanyin is a kind of traditional music popular in the Pearl River Delta region. It is performed in Cantonese operas, Guangdong "murmuring prayers", Taoist rituals, celebrations and funeral rites. Musicians usually accompany themselves on the instruments while they sing. Nanyin is featured throughout the movie "The Last Dance". The performance "'A Wanderer's Autumn Grief' - Nanyin", will be performed by the local troupe The Gong Strikes One from 2pm to 3pm on December 21 (Saturday) at the Hall on the first floor of the Hong Kong Museum of Art. The troupe will also introduce the structure, history and culture connotations of Nanyin, particularly its connection with funeral rites. There will also be a live Nanyin performance for the audience to experience and enjoy the music. Members of the public are welcome to join.

Participants will be admitted to the venue 15 minutes before the event commences.

Limited seats on a first-come, first-served basis.
