<In the Name of Secondization>

“When the tradition smashes with the digital, a sacred door is slammed open… into the surrealistic realm of the ancient opera beings …releasing blessings to us all.”

JC Jessie, Project Originator & Artist 2021

This project is supported by Hong Kong Arts Development Council “Arts Go Digital Platform Scheme"

This project is based on the specific research and artistic creation of the artist, whose ambition is to call for attention to the rebirth of a nearly lost history and an intangible art form of Hong Kong.

In fathoming the depth of Chinese/Hong Kong cultural heritage, Cantonese Opera is our signature cultural evidence. Other than factors related to its function in performances, the richness of material culture delineates on the Cantonese Opera Costumes justify the Chinese’s attitude towards aspiration for benefaction and vigor in life.

As the digital world belongs to the “New” generation while the Cantonese Opera culture is nurtured by the “Old” generation, under this digital exercise, spectators may be excited by the newfound possibilities in seeing some ancient yet familiar artifacts on a novel digital platform through interactive online and offline activities.
