CWR is pleased to partner with the HK Ballet and M+ Live Art on Beyond Carbon, an online festival to explore the most urgent issue of our time – climate change – through culture & arts.

Beyond Carbon is an online festival presented by M+ and Hong Kong Ballet that seeks to raise awareness of the most urgent issue of our times—global climate change—through cultural and artistic means. Taking as its starting point the scientific consensus that human activity is the major cause of climate change, the programme is a call to mindful collective action to save our planet for future generations. Set against the monumental architecture of the Herzog and de Meuron–designed M+ building, the eight short, choreographed chapters address environmental emergencies from two perspectives: Mortal Ignorance, tension between nature and humankind, and Human Traces, the material traces on earth left by human activity. Viewers will be taken on a journey of exploration, reflection, and empowerment.

WATCH from 20 August to 4 September 2022 on the websites of the HK Ballet & M+.
