New homegrown production at CCM
The Macao Cultural Centre, under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents The Walk-in Family, the latest in a string of productions commissioned and conceived to support the local performing arts scene. The new musical will premiere at CCM’s Small Auditorium in two shows scheduled for 23 and 24 September (Friday and Saturday).
The play depicts the shenanigans of a group of people who, driven by a cheerful energy, furtively moves into a big furniture store. Impelled by a set of shared illusions, pursuing a certain lifestyle and aspiring to the same middle-class dreams, the bunch grows closer, turning the public space into an unlikely home. The Walk-in Family is a hilarious local musical conceived by a group of artists with a common vision and shared experiences. Director Mabina Choi and playwright Mok Keng Fong lead a local cast who will tell a humorous story, sang and danced to the rhythm of original Cantopop inspired songs. The tunes lined up for the musical will be interpreted in various genres arranged by Hong Kong music director Wong Yee Lai and choreographed by local dancer Annette Ng
