【The Full Gamut】Design Spectrum x Edward Lam Dance Theatre: How can we stay in tune with “Fashion”?
What is fashion? What is a trend? What is timelessness that does not faded with the passage time? Taking the “Yi Yi Trilogy” (2021-2023) adapted from Edward Yang’s film “A One and a Two” as an example, Director Edward Lam and Video Director Darwin Ng will share the creative process and explore what makes the movie “A One and a Two” a timeless classic in the sharing session.
