CHARMING…PLAYFUL…LOVELY
The Stage

Experience mischief and mayhem in this acclaimed stage adaptation of Dr Seuss’ The Cat In The Hat.

From the moment his tall, red and white-striped hat appears, Sally and her brother know that the cat in the hat is the funniest, most mischievous cat they have ever met. With the trickiest of tricks and craziest of ideas, he turns a rainy afternoon into an amazing adventure.

The Cat in the Hat is a lively and engaging theatre experience for children aged 3+, based on the best-selling book.

Look out! You might get to meet the Cat in the Hat after the show and continue the mayhem!

The Wonderful World of Dissocia is a weird and magical play that takes a trip away from reality, exploring a world of psychological disconnection.

This ambitious production reimagines Henri Diamant-Berger’s 1921 silent film Les Trois Mousquetaires through a bold fusion of Chinese martial arts, Western classical music, and live performance. Schools of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts—Music, Drama, Film & Television—collaborate to bring this legendary tale to the stage.

French composer and conductor Béatrice Thiriet leads the artistic direction, composing original music, conducting live performances, and guiding HKAPA students in composition and performance. Alongside, filmmaker Jérôme Diamant-Berger, grandson of Henri Diamant-Berger, enriches the festival with workshops and talks on cinema history, production, and preservation, offering unique insight into the legacy of early film and its enduring influence.

This union of stage and screen creates a vibrant celebration of art across cultures and generations.

In Cantonese with English surtitles.

Artistically directed by Tang Shu-wing, conducted by French guest conductor and music director Béatrice Thiret, and re-edited by filmmaker Jérôme Diamant‑Berger. Built around Henri Diamant‑Berger’s 1921 French silent film The Three Musketeers, the work reimagines the classic through a contemporary dialogue with the Chinese literary masterpiece Water Margin. The visual language of French silent film will be combined with original music composed by students from the Composition and Electronic Music Department and a newly written Cantonese script, performed by students from the School of Music and the School of Drama, and multimedia content created by students from the School of Film and Television.

We welcome you to the Academy Cello Festival 2026 at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts between April 18-24, 2026. We eagerly await your presence at our concerts and we thank you for the continuing support in advance for joining us in the William Au Concert Hall.
