Hong Kong inclusive arts programme No Limits returns to allow performers with disabilities to share their ‘unique challenges’ through drama, music and more
- The sixth edition of No Limits starts in February and includes live performances of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and music by Beethoven, as well as online performances
- Actors with Down’s syndrome and visually impaired musicians are among the performers featuring in the programme that promotes inclusivity in the arts
For people living with a disability, daily life can come with a host of challenges. Inclusion and understanding are vital.
No Limits, co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, is doing its part by creating a barrier-free environment so people with different abilities can participate in the arts.
Now in its sixth edition, this year’s programme – with the theme “Showcasing Human Perspectives” – starts on February 24 and will include six live performances of dance, music and theatre, as well as four online programmes featuring works by European and Asian filmmakers and actors.
All works share the experiences of performers with disabilities, from the challenges they face in daily life to interpersonal relationships.
Opening this year’s programme is Hong Kong classical pianist Lee Shing, with a recital, Reminiscing, that features works by Beethoven and Schumann. Lee has been studying piano since he was a child despite his deteriorating vision.
