As a little boy I couldn’t be brave, can I be brave for him now?

Innocence Lost is a solo dance theatre piece exploring childhood memories and experiences growing up. It looks at the question, “How to live innocently knowing all that we know?” Monsters, dreams, desires, fears, the dark corners of our rooms, a light is shined upon what we struggle to face yet carry with us all our lives.

The piece is an culmination of choreographer Kenny Wing Tao Ho’s practice, exploring authenticity in movement, stories, the emotional body, dance and song.
