Ever wanted to experience what it’s like to be in a game theater performance?
This March 2026, multidisciplinary artist Jing Wong will be redefining live performance with “When the World is Your Enemy” — an immersive, live-action worldbuilding simulation that blends theater, gaming, puppetry, and storytelling in one evolving world.
Designed as an interactive, live-action simulation, “When the World is Your Enemy” places its viewers at the center of the story. Participants are drawn into a volatile mythic system, where civilizations rise and fall under unseen forces, and are invited to co-create their environment, shape outcomes, or embrace chaos — exploring how group dynamics and relationships can lead to victory or decline.
Photo from Instagram/WestK Hong Kong
Viewers can choose from two identities to participate in the game: Humans, those who shape new societies by building, competing, and working with neighbors; and Gods, divine participants from the heavens who influence the course of human civilization for entertainment.
“When the World is Your Enemy” explores the creation and fragility of myths, systems, and authority, eventually asking the question, “When power is shared, deferred or unseen, who is truly responsible for the world that emerges?”
The March presentation will be first released as a work-in-progress edition at The Room, Freespace, with the full production scheduled for autumn 2026.
The program is co-presented by WestK Performing Arts and The Drifters@Jing Wong Creations, as part of the WestK Creator series.
“When the World is Your Enemy” will run on the weekends from Mar. 7 to 22, 2026. English-language sessions will be held on Mar. 19 and 20, 2026, at 7:30 PM, while the rest are in Cantonese. Tickets are available via the website, priced at HK$400 for each role.
For each performance, the “Humans” will be divided into six groups of four, with groups to be assigned by the ticket system.
For more information and updates, visit the WestK website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

As the Year of the Horse gallops in, it’s officially time to gather the clan, embrace the chaos, and fill your calendar with festive outings that keep both the kids and adults entertained.
Whether your ideal celebration involves flowers, fireworks, or finding creative ways to tire the children out before dinner, here’s a round-up of family-friendly things to do around Hong Kong this Lunar New Year.
1. Flower Shopping at the Flower Market in Victoria Park Causeway Bay
Website/ Hong Kong Tourism Board
If there’s one place that captures the spirit of the season, it’s the Chinese New Year flower markets — especially at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. All 14 markets across the city run from Feb. 11-17, bursting with orchids, peach blossoms, dyed pussy willows, kumquat trees, and the occasional strange knobbly plant that someone’s aunt insists is essential for good fortune.
Each flower comes with its own symbolism: peach blossoms for romance and fresh beginnings, kumquats for prosperity, chrysanthemums for resilience and longevity, and narcissus for renewal. Pick up a slightly overpriced plant and bring some auspicious energy into your living room.
Location: 1 Hing Fat St, Causeway Bay
Dates: Feb. 11-17, 2026
2. Go Watch a Lion Dance at The Peninsula Hong Kong
Website/ The Peninsula Hong Kong
Few things say “New Year is here” quite like a lion dance, and The Peninsula Hong Kong is bringing one of the most spectacular shows on Feb. 17, 2026, at 9 AM.
Watch as elaborately costumed lions burst into the hotel lobby, drums pounding in sync with their every move. The traditional eye-dotting ceremony “awakens” the lions, setting the stage for a mesmerizing performance of leaps, spins, and blessings for good fortune.
Just as thrilling as you remember — this is an unforgettable way to start the holiday.
Location: Salisbury Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui
Date: Feb. 17, 2026
3. Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade
Website/ Hong Kong Tourism Board
Get ready, Tsim Sha Tsui — because on Feb. 17, the Chinese New Year Night Parade turns the streets into one long, glowing runway of color and lights. Kicking off at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza and weaving down Canton Road, Haiphong Road, and Nathan Road, before ending near the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, the parade promises a sparkly evening from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
This year, the streets will dazzle with colorful lights, lanterns, and a high-energy line-up of local and international performers. Although tickets for the spectator stands at the Cultural Centre are sold out, the parade can still be enjoyed for free along the route, just stake out a pavement spot and soak up Hong Kong’s biggest, most joyful street party to ring in the Year of the Horse.
Hong Kong’s skyline is set to steal the spotlight on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 8 PM, when the annual Chinese New Year Fireworks Display explodes over Victoria Harbour in a 23-minute, 31, 888-shell spectacle. Coordinated by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, this year’s show blends heritage with creativity that will light up Hong Kong like never before.
Themed “Prosperity Gallops Across Hong Kong,” the light show opens with horses charging across the sky, building into sweeping layers of fireworks that evoke thousands more in motion.
Expect symbolic nods throughout, from glowing “8” formations and golden ingots, to a serene sequence ending with the character “吉” for good fortune. The finale, titled “Triumphant Achievement”, promises crown-shaped fireworks and rapid-fire bursts that go out with a bang.
Enhanced lighting effects will amplify the drama, and you can catch the show from both sides of the harbor: Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Hung Hom and even Mid-Levels vantage points. For the full cinematic effect, tune into RTHK Radio 4 (FM 97.6–98.9) for synchronized music.

This year’s edition is the biggest yet, with over 50 attractions and eight new rides — including the Big Ben Tower, officially the world’s tallest mobile swing ride, flinging brave souls 80 meters into the sky (very on-theme for “rising” into the Year of the Horse).
The real showstopper, though, is the Winter World Circus by Gandeys Circus — a brand-new 60-minute production packed with gravity-defying stunts, fire-fueled acts and elite roller-skating, fresh from a 40-year global tour.

You can choose from three levels depending on how intricate you want your ring to be: Level 1 (HK$1,100) for minimalist everyday styles, Level 2 (HK$1,450) for designs that highlight special metalsmithing techniques, and Level 3 (HK$1,680) for more intricate, advanced pieces.
Sessions run for 1.5 to 3 hours, and each includes one ring plus all tools and up to 8g of silver (extra silver charged separately). It’s an intimate experience that ends with a beautiful piece, so give it a try and book a slot now!
