Title: Poppies on the mountain
Arrogantly sitting on the mountain.
Assuming they gained the glory for their nations.
But who ever cares,
the innocents behind invasions.
Title: The way of seeing
It passed in a fast speed
The furthest
Stayed longest
They were passing slowly
From one side to another and disappeared
The closest blurred and faded away without being noticed
Trees
Their shapes, gestures, structures,
As part of the creatures
Uniquely made
Birds, horses, sheeps
Embraced by the green
With fresh breath
The nature was actually telling the truth of living
The secret was whispering
That everyone were ignoring
The forest and the land
Embraced by the blue with no end
Title：Poppies on the mountain
I heard that you were calling me
In the game we played
You asked me to freeze
Under a tree
Yet I cheated
And I was hiding under a bridge
I am back!!
But everything turned into ashes
Nothing left
With tears and fears
I saw you covered with red
Like poppies!
Beautiful poppies that we used to dance with
In my memories
Clearly and vividly
It was under the tree
Where the bodies buried
But now it was full of blueberries
Stimulating the sweet and lovely memories
The memories which encouraged me to move on bravely

It's going to be late!
Mum was dragging me
Dad was carrying the baggage following from behind
It was mum and dad's 10 years anniversary celebration trip to Italy
I loved mum in her white dress
She looked pretty the same as in the wedding photos
'Darling, we need to hurry up!'
I was not sure if she was talking to me or dad
But I was sure that both were her darlings
Mum got two darlings
And I had three
Mum dad and my teddy
I cuddled teddy in my arms tightly
It was early in the morning
The train station was fresh
I could smell the sweetness of chocolate and bitterness of coffee
We got to the platform waiting for the train
A woman was standing next to me whispering to herself
In her eyes, there was anxiety and insecurity
The train was approaching
The light was bright
She was frightened and freaked out in a sudden
She crashed to me
I was falling
Mum was trying to catch my arm
But all she could get was teddy's

Choreographers: Wai Shan Vivian Luk in collaboration with dancers
Dancers: Kingsan Lo, Kenny Shim, Katrina Madrilejo, Wai Shan Vivian Luk
Music: Miss You by Trentemoller
Duration: within 6 minutes
Verbal text embedded into the music:
My first breath
Was an experiment
For me to check if people were deaf
So I cried
As loud as I could
And people smiled
As glad as they could
Were they happy because of me
Or it was just about a mission they completed
A destiny
That I was born to fulfil
Began from the second I was tagged with a name
Life was about to be instructed and educated
Until I made my own voice to let people hear
Instead of following the world
Before my last breath
It was all about having the courage to experiment
and appreciate who I am
Title: Nil
What does matter
From deciding what to eat for supper
To considering which path to take as a life learner
You see me as an actor in the cinema
Fooling around the corner
Title：Nil
Squares triangles rectangular
Regularity conformity unity
Being symmetrically structured
Systematically constructed infrastructure
Stressed being not the same
Pressured in maintaining a doubling game
A shame
But no one to blame
Only the living things
Find themselves being truly and sincerely living
Among everything which look detailed without feeling
Title：A Language of Life
Description:
Language is a medium for communication, with which mutual understandings are achieved. How can we find the language which enables us to comprehend the meaning of life? Would it be found from what we were told to believe or doing what we were supposed to follow? If not, where should it be found then?
命。語言
語言促進相互瞭解，是溝通的媒介。
我們從哪裡可找到讓人領會生命意義的語言？是從人云亦云的說法裏還是從別人的期望中尋找呢？若兩者都不是的話，那麼哪裡呢？
