Make & Believe is the the second exhibition of ARTS • TECH Exhibition 2.0 presented by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council this year. Curated and produced by Orlean Lai, this performative exhibition examines the notions of illusion and reality through theatrical performances, encompassing a spectrum of sounds, performances, and scenography.

Departing from traditional theatrical spaces, Make & Believe invites visitors to embark on an immersive exploration of its performative aspects within an exhibition space, creating a dynamic and interactive experience. Embodying the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), it offers a multi-sensory encounter by seamlessly integrating visual elements and scenography, fostering active observation and sensory perception. Throughout the exhibition’s opening hours, visitors will be treated to periodic live performances by performing artists and musicians. These captivating moments, in harmony with the carefully curated objects, scenography, lighting, and soundscapes, will serve as guides, leading visitors on captivating artistic journeys. Visitors can register online for free to experience how different mediums within the exhibition space collectively intertwine and resonate with one another to form one cohesive experience, while preserving each individual artist’s creative authenticity.

Venue address: F Hall Studio, Block 17, Tai Kwun
