ROCK HARD - A THEATRICAL A CAPELLA ADVENTURE is Coming To Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Performances will take place at Big at theSpaceTriplex, 11 - 23 Aug 2025.
Yat Po Singers will present Rock Hard - A Theatrical A Cappella Adventure, PART OF THE HONG KONG SOUL SHOWCASE.
From Hong Kong's first professional a cappella choral theatre company comes a reflection of the city's past, myths and dreams told through a cappella singing made up of wordless syllables. A group of scouts embark on a hiking trip, their voices echoing through time. With music and movement created by six singers and a clarinettist, the production unveils Hong Kong's history - reflecting on the past, embracing the present and looking to the future. Merging tradition with innovation, Rock Hard - A Theatrical A Cappella Adventure views the history of Hong Kong from a refreshing perspective.
Founded in Hong Kong as the first professional a cappella choral theatre company, Yat Po Singers is dedicated to creating and developing original works that blend music and theatre in innovative ways. With a strong ethos of nurturing young composers and promoting arts education, the company champions the art of A Cappella through performance and outreach. Their notable productions include Om Encounter, Love, Death, and Everything In-between, Requiem Hong Kong,and Our Immortal Cantata. Yat Po Singers has received multiple accolades, including several Hong Kong Drama Awards and recognition from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council for arts promotion and education.
