“Voyage” is the theme the 27 th edition of Le French May chose to embark its audience. This journey in spectacular dance, music, photography, design and theatre performances will transport us, through time and space, from the East to the West, creating a true cultural “staycation” during May and June.
Through more than 120 programmes and activities, the Festival aims at reaching a wider audience, allowing more people, in particular the younger generation, to enjoy cultural programmes and develop their art appreciation. In this respect, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust’s sponsorship also covers 1,050 complimentary tickets for less-privileged students and special programmes for the visually and hearing impaired.
Le French May will be kicked off by a world-class exhibition featuring the legendary feminist artist – Niki de Saint Phalle: Legendary Female Artist of the 20th Century and Her Wonderland. As Niki is especially famous for spectacular outdoor installations, a number of her monumental works will be presented in the public space, as an eye-catching promenade leading audience to the indoor exhibition, as well as an artistic “voyage”. The Asian début and Asian premiere music performance, Invitation to the Voyage, is a marvellous sensory journey through music, poetry and painting.
This year, as always, there is an array of activities and events to experience. From dining to music, performances to live music, theatre and other cultural showcases, the city will have France all over the place.
