【Programme】
《The Untold Story: Love and Pain》Japanese Version
Choreographer & Dancer: Gabbie Chan Hiu Ling
Composer: Max Chan
Description:
In whispers of time, where shadows play,
A tale unfolds in night and day.
Love and pain, a woven thread,
In every heart, their whispers spread.
Through mist and veil, a dance ensues,
Of love's embrace and aching blues.
The untold story, softly spins,
In distance, beauty's truth begins.

【About The Untold Story: Love and Pain Series】
<The Untold Story: Love and Pain> series was inspired by Love and Pain stories in different places.
The Japanese version is based on the statue of “THE GIRL WITH RED SHOES”.
“Akai kutsu” (Red Shoes) by Noguchi Ujō (1921)
The girl in the red shoes
was taken away by a foreigner.
Boarding a ship at Yokohama Pier,
she was taken away by a foreigner.
I wonder if her eyes have turned blue
living in the foreigner’s land.
Every time I see red shoes, I think of her.
Every time I meet a foreigner, I think of her.
