Damon Tong joins the Complaints Choir of Hong Kong for the Handover |
|
01 Jul,2009
Hong Kong artist Damon Tong has found a new way of expression for the 12th anniversary of the Handover – for 12 years now, a march on Handover Day has almost become tradition in Hong Kong. But amid this year’s slogan-chanting and placard-waving, one group should bring smiles to the faces of thousands of disgruntled people expected to take to the streets - a choir giving musical expression to issues that had them fuming over the past months. The group made their debut at the pre-march rally at Victoria Park, with a tune composed by guitarist Ho Shan of indie band Pixel Toy and featuring lyrics based on gripes gathered from the public over several months.
Finnish artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen organised the first complaints choir in Britain four years ago as a creative way to harness people's dissatisfaction. Fuelled by clips of the choir posted online, the idea was quickly taken up in more than 20 cities around the world, from Chicago to Singapore.
Date: 1 July 2009 Venue: Victoria Park, Hong Kong
