Background

Following the acclaimed "Light and Shadow of the Ruins of St. Paul's," this project aims to cultivate local performing arts talent. The Cultural Affairs Bureau and the Macao Amateur Further Education Centre jointly organized a workshop led by the original Spanish creative team. The resulting performances are entirely created by the local participants, blending historical context with architectural features to create a visual spectacle of "light and shadow legends."
