Choreographer Christian Rizzo has been given the carte blanche to transform Freespace, West Kowloon Cultural District, taking full creative control in curating a multi-element free programme while working remotely from France. Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels co-presents this programme with French May Arts Festival and Freespace, which includes three main components—an art installation, a pair of dance films and a pop-up dance performance, as well as a supplementary online talk. Featuring a combination of elements such as dance, sound, visuals and objects, it sees Rizzo—a creator with a singular background—break the boundaries between dance and visual art while continuing his collaborations with local artists.
