Mr Blank 2.0 a dance piece that's visually dazzling but feels bleak, brutal and voyeuristic
'These premises are under CCTV surveillance for your personal safety and security.' Advertisement This ominous message on wall-mounted screens greets the audience in the auditorium of Kwai Tsing Theatre as they arrive to watch Mr Blank 2.0, by Hong Kong's City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC). When the curtain rises, the same words appear on the back wall of the stage. The visually dazzling dance work, with its use of multilayered video projections and intense performances, offers a bleak picture of a world from which basic humanity has disappeared. There is no denying its visceral power, but ultimately its lack of hope or possibility of redemption make it more a work of horror than a moral tale. Multilayered projections help paint a bleak picture of a world bereft of humanity in Mr Blank 2.0.

How Kwai Chung Plaza became an affordable culinary hotspot for Hongkongers
Jarita Mak Shun-ting starts her Wednesday morning by preparing beef patties for her signature sliders before the lunch rush starts at her shop in Hong Kong's Kwai Chung Plaza. Advertisement She opened her shop, Wagyu Butler, more than a month ago and offers small bites ranging from mini burgers and meatballs to dumplings and instant noodles at prices going from HK$18 (US$2.31) to HK$62. Her bestseller is her beef sliders, with her Hong Kong take on the dish served with either satay or yuzu sauce. 'Kwai Chung Plaza is a place filled with innovative snacks, and I want to sell what I've created here, too,' Mak said. The plaza, a shopping centre and private housing estate in Kwai Tsing district, is a rarity among the city's malls. Advertisement Packed with small, independent, family-run shops, claw machines and mini gaming arcades, it contrasts with other larger malls that some are saying have become generic due to many of them hosting similar chain stores.
