The highlight of this year’s arts programme is the world premiere of Minimax: The Planets, a mobile, site-responsive and kinetic theatrical experience conceptualised by Jay Hofmann-Forster (co-founder and artistic director of Clockenflap) and designed by Obie Chan (Screw Up Studio). Written and directed by Benjamin Smith (Svalbard Company, SE), Minimax: The Planets reimagines Gustav Holst’s iconic suite as a living, breathing theatrical work, where each planet becomes a character in its own right, expressed through an eclectic score ranging from electronic soundscapes to contemporary jazz, and embodied through street dance, voguing, hip-hop, circus and contemporary performance. A groundbreaking fusion of theatre, music, and movement, Minimax blends large-scale rolling sets, live music, dance, visual art and audience participation—transforming transitional time and liminal space into moments of collective wonder. This project is financially supported by the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
Other arts programme highlights include The Origin, an intriguing DJ booth and art installation created by Screw Up Studio, and Relentless Melt No. 42: Generative Abstractions, a hand-picked selection of music videos by Hong Kong artists that deploy generative AI models like Midjourney and Kling in the service of abstract experimentation, co-curated by CityUHK’s experimental animation professor Max Hattler and Clockenflap’s artistic director Jay Hofmann-Forster.
A festival that caters to merry-makers of all ages, Clockenflap features a carefully curated programme of family-friendly attractions and interactive activities designed for children. These include: hands-on Family Workshops by Hong Kong Children’s Discovery Museum; energizing sonic experiences employing ancient musical traditions with Hakgwai & Chor Lai; percussion-based musical participation at the ever-popular Drum Jam; lively lyrical showdowns and an intergalactic disco at Lipsync Battle; singalong puppet-show fun with Treasure Chest Theatre’s ‘Peace on Earth: A Pigeon’s Story’; plus Face Painting and a Bouncy Castle.
