Ming’s residency is part of an on-going collaboration between Para Site and Spring Workshop. Blast off into the Sinosphere is a presentation on his research into Cantonese opera has led him into the realm of contemporary Chinese science fiction. Departing from the idea of exploring how one of the oldest performing art forms in the world can be used to address notions of the ‘future’, he is looking at how Cantonese opera went from stage to screen and how the innovations of cinema have then affected this form’s return from screen to stage.
