Frida

Conceived by Colombian-Belgian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, this balletic biopic of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo makes its Asian debut on April 4 with the Hong Kong Ballet. Premiered in 2020, the production explores themes of artistic subjectivity and female liberation within a surreal and colourful world of Mexican culture, with performances that blur the line between dance and painting in a swirl of skeletons, Mexican skirts and animals.
Lyric Theatre, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, from April 4 to 6. Visit cultural.cityline.com for tickets.

Featuring ensembles plucked from the careers of Ducasse and head chef Cedric Satabin, such as Alaskan king crab with garden peas and gold caviar, the menu of five dishes will be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks.
