Happy New Year.

Later in this week’s show we’re kicking off the new year by “tripping the light fantastic”. In other words, we’re celebrating the new year with dance, specifically tango and tango music. Nazar Tabachyshyn, accordion player and founder of the local band, Café 852, will be here with pianist Melodie Wong and two dancers. Don’t go away. First though, a trip to the circus, where circus highlights, especially in modern times and now that performing animals have fallen out of favour, can include acrobatics, aerial numbers, juggling, clowning, magic and even theatre. Here in Hong Kong, Tai Kwun has organised a contemporary circus festival during the holiday season since 2018. We went to take a look at their training programme.

Currently showing at Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong is Mark Bradford’s “Exotica”. Bradford is known for his large-scale abstract paintings using paper and graphic materials he has collected. Through video, print, collages, drawing, mixed media and installations, he explores social and political issues within marginalised and vulnerable communities.
