STREAMING – THE YEAR OF THE CELLO

Co-created by Marjorie Chan and Njo Kong Kie and co-produced by Theatre Passe Muraille and Music Picnic. This audio version is presented with the partnership of digitalstage.ca.

Wen and her friend Li-An are forever changed by their encounter with the Cellist, whose music unlocks all that was left unspoken. Co-created by Marjorie Chan and Njo Kong Kie, The Year of the Cello is told poetically, alongside live cello music culminating in a lament for loves lost, and a Hong Kong that once was.
