I

   As a child, I was my parents’ daughter,

   When I grew up, I became someone's wife.

   After giving birth, I became my child's mother,

   And now, with silvered hair, I am someone's grandmother.

I

Ask myself, when will I finally become who I truly am?

When you hear “Leng Lui,” which means a beautiful woman in Cantonese, and “Ho Yea,” meaning something impressive or well-done, does it imply that beauty must also be accompanied by approval or excellence?

In this performance, AWPlanet (Macau x Beijing) explores the true meaning of “Leng Lui” using AI, multimedia, drama, and physical theatre. Why aspire to be a “Leng Lui”? What defines being “good”? And is it okay not to fit these standards?

The team brings Lin Daiyu and the Virgin Mary to the stage, contrasting Eastern and Western ideals of women. They explore how these iconic figures respond to modern beauty and value standards, questioning whether we enjoy more freedom today or are still bound by changing norms. Through their responses, we gain insights into shifting societal expectations of women.

AWPlanet, founded by Dynamic Wang and Alexis Kam in 2014, is an art studio that explores dance, visual design, photography, experimental films, and new media from a multi-dimensional perspective.
