Eaton HK 24 Hours Movement Festival
Presented by Eaton HK, Movement Festival was first initiated in 2018 and has hosted two editions in 2019 and 2022. Movement Festival brings performance art to a mixed audience: from performance enthusiasts to passersby, as well as hotel clients, dining guests, and hotel staff. Brought together in the same space either by chance or by their own will, audiences will experience curated movement activations in unusual spaces. Site-specificity lies at the core of the festival. With no stage, performers, audience members and anonymous passersby all share the same space. The constraints of the hotel space require artists to work around the blurred lines between the audience and the artists; performers may decide to attract the crowd’s attention or disappear into their surroundings to manipulate the space between performance and “real life”.
This year's theme “Speaking From Afar”originated from“The Man and the Snake”(Book X, Fable 1,1678), a fable by French writer Jean de La Fontaine. The moral of the story concludes that people in high places do not listen to reason and believe they are entitled to everything. La Fontaine advises to speak from afar or keep quiet: “And this being so, when you wish to teach the truth to such people, keep out of their reach.”
