Beyond the conventional, classical performances, Hong Kong's performing arts scene holds a quirky secret or two. And between October 19 and November 18, the
New Vision Arts Festival brings local and international talent to the forefront.

The biennial arts festival first launched in 2002 and is the city's autumnal answer to the International Arts Carnival. The unashamedly adventurous programming will definitely appeal to those on the search for trailblazing creative talent.
Organised by the government's Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the monthlong modern arts festival plays host to all manner of mediums. The festival kicks off with the Asian debut of
Tree of Codes – a contemporary ballet featuring a musical score by famed musician Jamie xx, and
AquaSonic. Fans of
The Shape of Water will be drawn to the hauntingly beautiful underwater orchestral performance by Danish ensemble Between Music that is – quite literally – breathtaking. Irish choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan brings a 21st-century twist on the classic ballet
Swan Lake, drawing upon the trials and tribulations of today's society.
For those interested in what happens behind the theatrics, the festival also hosts a number of forums and artist-led discussions, as well as workshops that take you behind-the-scenes.
