In 2024, a cultural exchange project unfolded with Zurich’s Zürcher Theater Spektakel and Shedhalle, Lausanne’s Plateforme 10 in Switzerland, as well as The Culture Yard in Helsingør and Tofu Collective in Copenhagen, Denmark. Centered around the theme "LIVING GAYA DREAMING HAGAY", the project featured performances across these three locations in late summer. Through interdisciplinary exchanges blending folklore, rituals, ballads, dance, weaving, workshops, and open dialogues, it engaged and interacted with European audiences.

In 2023, we launched the development of a theater version led by visionary direction of Shu Lea Cheang and artistic dedication of Dondon Hounwn. In this first stage presentation of HAGAY DREAMING theater version, a revised stage play along with renewed choreography, music composition, and costume design are further enhanced with updated applications in motion capture and image processing. Further development in intricate laser programming converts the pouring rain, the transfer of knowledge in knitting and hunting into dazzling projections of laser beams.
