Fata Morgana: A Reading Performance

Like a mirage shimmering on the horizon, desire can beckon with a longing that feels both real and dreamlike, especially when love itself seems forbidden. This evening, we present "Fata Morgana," a reading performance that navigates the intricate landscape of yearning and the elusive pursuit of love.

Through intimate reflections penned during a time spent in Berlin, these personal stories by Lian Kian Lek explore the contours of identity and the courage found in embracing one's truth, even when societal winds blow fiercely against it. The experience delves into the deep-seated human need for connection and the profound sense of loss that can accompany desires that feel perpetually out of reach.

Join us for an evocative journey into the heart's longings, a subtle yet powerful testament to the enduring human spirit that continues to dream of equality, freedom, and the unburdened ownership of one's own body and desires.

After the reading performance, artist Lian Kian Lek will engage in an exchange and dialogue with the audience alongside Hong Kong designer and artist Po Hung.

*The reading performance contains mature content and is recommended for audiences aged 18 and above.
