Overview
Being lost can be beautiful! While lost, we explore. Going mad, we break the rules. Beauty evolves between extremes…
Gathering the crème de la crème of independent creative talents from Hong Kong, USA, Australia and Japan, this is a rarely-seen collaboration between artists, as they share their life experiences through music, images, movements and sculptural installations in a unique “pop opera”. City Inside a Broken Sky II explores and records the existential madness of urban life and promises a stunning reconstruction of its poetic emotions.
