Vietnamese Lune Production's contemporary acrobatic work "Teh Dar" to showcase millennia-old highland culture
Presented by the fourth Asia+ Festival, the contemporary acrobatic work "Teh Dar" will make its Hong Kong debut on November 14 and 15, following a successful European tour. Blending aerial acrobatics with traditional Vietnamese musical instruments, the programme vividly brings Vietnam’s highland culture to the stage. It will be performed by Lune Production, widely hailed as the Vietnamese Cirque du Soleil, marking the troupe's return to Hong Kong after previous critically acclaimed performances.
In the language of the K'Ho region in Vietnam's Central Highlands, "Teh Dar" means "going in circles", evoking the eternal cycle of life. The production's red stage recalls the region's distinctive red soil landscape, as acrobatic performers execute aerial feats. A live ensemble will play traditional instruments including gongs, buffalo horns, T'rung bamboo xylophones and long drums, bringing to life the millennia-old Gong Culture of the Central Highlands, recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
The New York Times has acclaimed "Teh Dar" as "a hypnotic, daring spectacle that fuses Central Highlands lore with world-class circus and contemporary dance".
"Teh Dar" is also one of the programmes of the sixth Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival. It will be held at 7.30pm on November 14 and 3pm on November 15 at the Tuen Mun Town Hall Auditorium. Tickets priced at $200, $260, $320 and $400 are available at URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). Please call 3166 1288 for telephone bookings or use the mobile ticketing app URBTIX.
An acrobatic workshop will be held on November 15. Please refer to www.asiaplus.gov.hk/2026/en/teh-dar.
Presented by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Asia+ Festival is held annually from September to November. Themed "Traditions Recast", this year's festival brings together over 30 countries and regions, and presents more than 100 performances and related activities, showcasing the artistic essence of Asia and countries and regions along the Belt and Road.
