“I am a migratory bird; they call us cormorants…”

Join us for a world premiere solo performance by award-winning Hong Kong cultural leader Augustine Mok Chiu Yu.

The cormorant and his fellow migratory birds have journeyed to many places. Setting off from Crimea, this time the cormorant started his journey with a difference – the sky has become crowded, the humans erratic, and even the ground is cracking. Where is left to land?

Combining striking imagery and poetic language, Cormorants tells the story of our relationship with nature, and each other, from a bird’s eye view.

Cormorants is part of 1001 Stories a revolutionary two-week takeover where older people perform, exhibit and express their stories of lives lived to the fullest.
