<p>A rare large-scale production of a Greek tragedy comes to the local stage as part of the ongoing Hong Kong Arts Festival. The National Theatre of Greece’s take on Euripides’ dramatic play explores deep into the psyche and the ongoing conflict between abstinence and desire, divine intervention and human willpower. It emphasises the role of Aphrodite, the manipulative goddess of love who sees mortals as mere playthings to be used and cast aside on a whim. First staged in Athens circa 428 BC, Hippolytus never fails to resonate with modern audiences.&nbsp;</p>

<p>August Strindberg’s masterpiece of theatre takes on a new dimension in this compelling local production adapted by British-Hong Kong playwright Amy Ng. Originally set in the seemingly more placid 19th-century Swedish countryside, the storyline exploring universal themes such as sex, power play, racial divides and social hierarchies has been reimagined into the post-war colonial Hong Kong landscape. The play follows the trials and tribulations of a mixed-race daughter from an elite family who seduces her Chinese chauffeur.</p>

<p>Immerse yourself in the joy of watching the underwater world come to life via the fantastic hemispherical screen of the Space Museum. This under-the-sea tale revolves around three little fish whose natural habitat is devastated by the ruthless actions of fishing trawlers. Their journey to the so-called ‘enchanted reef’ forms the basis of the plot, which is depicted in 3D glory on the dome screen utilising the latest NanoSeam technology.</p>
