And also the crazy band @jezzachu , @nelson_fung and @pohchaichon ! I am so happy that we have the room to really try, jam, and create together. I am so glad that we are willing to dive in, to risk, and to explore. This is the theatre I stand for! I am blessed to have you all in this journey. Last but not least, Thank you to the designers @giu_tracy and @bertlx for creating together with such a limited budget and limited time.

“You told me once that talking was just peculiar form of breathing. It was posh breathing for humans, you said. And that singing was something deeper and richer and stranger and more incredible. You told me that scientists had started to think, when they studied the vocal cords of the earliest human beings, that hunter-gatherers sung before they spoke. They didn’t live so close together. They weren’t so many of them. They needed to communicate over long distances. So we are animals born to sing more than we’re animals born to talk. It sounded unlikely, to me. But I liked the way you said it.” Song From FAR Away || FAR Away From Song 🗓️ 21-31.1.2026 📍東九文化中心形館、創館 🎫 $780（包括兩場演出） @ch_ivanhoe @chunho.ivanhoe.lam @leungtinchak @iron.ronald.lam @sanders.lau @weiweimeimei @melissatuen @jonathan1ho @rach_kwok_hin #simonstephens #songfromfaraway Photo : Mak Cheong Wai Bottom / @carmen_so5828

Currently re-working on the show. Rework is a precious process, but it’s also tough. Constantly spotting problems and working on making things better. Can I just stick with the old one? It works, right? Can I not change? Will the change destroy the one that was “working”? It’s like a mental battleground. It’s all about learning about the world and yourself. When you’re in the zone and just get a little bit more clarity, it gives you so much energy. I guess that’s what it means to “create” – not to get stuck with what you know, but to create space for the “new” to come in and for the “truth” to be seen.

“What dreams may come in the sleepless night.” @le.point_de.bascule @accademiadimitri Next show : October 2025 / Leipzig, Germany

“WHAT DREAMS MAY COME IN THE SLEEPLESS NIGHT” is a physical theatre solo that merges movement, materials and text to explore the void between past and future. On sleepless nights, the world around feels intensely private, as if he is the only one who exists. The room becomes a threshold - a liminal zone where past, present and future collide. Here is the battleground where forgotten thoughts, memories and unresolved emotions resurface to challenge. It is a journey navigating through labyrinth of the mind, tangled in the threads of conflicting thoughts and desires. In the chaos of today’s world - torn by political conflict and uncertainty - what dreams can come in a sleepless night? ————————— Concept, Performer, Creator - Chester Wong External Eyes - @ariteperberg , @jomas_tanypka and @genna_littlesmudgestheatre Light Design - @ja.y.po and Andrea Ferrari Video Footage - @bverd.art Rehearsal Venue Support - @cirqueoncz Premier - April 2025 @accademiadimitri

身體如何說話？ 兩年的時間轉眼即逝，九月我就會回到香港。這兩年間，雖然名義上是在攻讀形體劇場的碩士課程，但實際上，我們所經歷的，更多是對劇場本質與可能性的探索。 過去，我來自戲劇背景，習慣以文本、情節為中心來建構舞台。身體在其中，大多時候被視為一種符號——它服務於戲劇性，承載概念，輔助敘事。即使在較為抽象的作品中，戲劇的思維仍是主導，身體往往是從屬。 但在這段時間裡，我開始反思：身體在劇場中是否只能是被動的工具？如果不再讓概念主導，而是讓身體本身成為出發點，劇場又會變成什麼樣子？我們是否可以建構一種讓身體說話的空間？ 身體承載著我們的歷史與經驗，是我們接觸這個世界最直接的方式。語言與概念，某種程度上是後來的建構，是對世界的翻譯與框架。然而，我們太習慣讓語言主導，甚至讓邏輯與敘事規範了表達。 如果我們反過來思考：語言與概念能否成為身體的工具？能否用來搭建一個讓身體獲得主體性、擁有話語權的劇場結構？那會是怎樣的創作？怎樣的觀看經驗？ 八月底我說回來，有機會一起討論，一起創作！ （九，十月我仍有一些時間空檔，有合作極致歡迎找我！）

“What Dreams May Come in the Sleepless Night” A solo performance that navigates the disquiet of insomnia as a threshold between personal and collective memory. This body—restless, searching—moves through a landscape of suppressed memories, unprocessed emotions, and unspoken feelings. Here, in the stillness of night, we meet a self suspended in-between: between wakefulness and sleep, presence and absence, belonging and exile. Premier : April 2025 @accademiadimitri
