Festival Launch

As the warmth of a Sydney summer evening comes alive with a feast of flavours from a vast array of cooking stalls, firecrackers are guaranteed to scare off any lingering misfortunes from the previous year. Soak up the atmosphere and then tuck into a bowl or two of delicious New Year dumplings with family and friends, before you settle in for a night of celebrations.

Catch the first glimpse of Compartmentalized, an exciting collaboration between Australia’s Stalker Theatre and Hong Kong’s Unlock Dancing Plaza, with a taste of their breathtaking breakdance, fusing bold moves, drumming and a contemporary soundscape. There will be lion dancing, as well as special launch night performances on the market stage, including a sneak preview of the Twilight Parade, plenty of pop and more traditional music and dance. Stick around for the PopAsia crew they are sure to have the crowd kicking up their hooves, pony-style, as they spin all the latest hits from across Asia.
