- "20 Minutes for the 20th Century, but Asian"
- Day-after-day of training and hard work, what remains on the dancers’ bodies?
20 Minutes for the 20th Century, but Asian inquires history through the body, and looks at the present by contrasting it with the past. It serves not only as an identification game, but a Postcolonial reflection which transcends that of the era, region and person.

- The stage design resembles Hong Kong, a peninsula attached to Mainland China, with many outer islands. Despite its size and short history, Hong Kong has grown from a small fishing village to a modernized metropolitan. Its achievement is made possible by the effort of people from different sectors and various background.

- Synopsis//
- Popular pianist of Hong Kong, Phoebus Chan, exercises his diverse and hypnotic best to lead the dancers into the nooks and crannies of performance- form classical music to hip-hop, acrobatics, contemporary dance, dance theatre, modern dance, post-modern dance, pre-modern dance… and more. Well, we are not going to point an accusing finger at the government, the bankers, the developers… but we won’t take things hands down either! We trick up our sleeves. We would dance on tip-toe on the dead serious profile of our city mapped out by town-planning. We would do the hip-hop with romantic abandon. So take it from us—that’s our attitude, those are our dream.
