School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts Presents

Herman Wong x manvsmachine

We humans are complicated species.
We strive for intimacy, yet keeping distance from others to protect our fragile feelings. As lights fade and notes vibrate through the air, we will become more than us.
Here, we are one.

The Sunset Concert was produced yearly by students from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) for over twenty years. It provides a platform for different local music talents and artists to share their music to the public. Sunset Concert is an annual extravaganza, intending to share the learning progress and new ideas in the concert production. With support from different areas, we are going to let this dignity go on and organize the ‘’Sunset Concert 2021’’.

This year, we have invited Herman Wong and manvsmachine to stage in our show. We have full confidence that this year will be another fruitful year and leads to great success.

As a species with variety, we humans often come with different gender, appearances, edges and personalities. These grant each of us unique colours and aura that express our individuality, but at the same time we’re often kept apart by our own distinctiveness. As you go through the gate, there will be no more race, nationality, religion and gender. The difference between you and me will become blurry and all of our consciousness will slowly be united into thin air.

The only thing that will be left is the last note vibrating through the air, and the vision that eventually greyed out by a flash of glare.

“Where words fail, music speak.”

As we believe the music could be the universal language, audience are going to immerse in the atmosphere we created and become integrated with each other. Either people come from the dark side or the bright side, the united world should be in a grey tone in our interpretation. Each of us will be connected, made no distinction and understanding each other.
