Asian Mermaid Workshop Performance [Eaton Live Art Festival 2026]

Highlights

As a centerpiece of the Eaton Live Art Festival 2026, the "Asian Mermaid Workshop Performance" transforms the hotel's Wellness Center into a compelling site for interactive art. This is not merely a show, but a training session blending live music, movement guidance, and narrative. It offers an in-depth exploration of water myths regarding sirens and goddesses in Asian culture, drawing connections to the objectification and systemic exhaustion faced by the female body in modern society.

Program

Curated by Leung Hoi-yi with live musical accompaniment by Japanese artist UKA, this performance is part of the "Salt Fish Tales" marine series. The work re-imagines water myths, ranging from local Lo Ting legends to Pan-Asian folklore, attempting to reclaim voices through physical practice. By utilizing a "workshop performance" format, the work combines interactive education with live art, exploring how daily habits, labor, and rituals are transformed into performative knowledge.
