Renowned Hong Kong sand artist Hoichiu and professional musician Patrick Ng created a brand new performace MIRAGE. This show is a therapeutic treat for urbaners who are at lost and searching for their identities.

MIRAGE describes a person who puts on a smiling face mask everyday to fulfill expectations from the family, workplace and the society. He has been suppressing his true feeling for so long that, he becomes callous and has lost his true self, living with despair and loneliness.

One day the dust storm hits and buries, everything in the city, and the world falls into barrenness. Despite the disaster, he goes to work as usual; when he finds out that everything has disappeared, he stands still hesitating where to go. At this time, a wild horse appears, wandering in the desert. He instinctively tries to catch it, he finally grabs the rein, but the horse escapes. He looks at the rein in his hand, which is just the same as his tie.

At this particular moment, streams of fond memories and lovely moments flush in. When he realizes that his loved ones are gone, his soul is lost, then he walks like empty shell, surviving under the mask of smile.

He reflects his past and portrays lives in the sandstorm, just to realize that love and protection are inseparable. He finally has the courage to set off, by taking off his smiling face mask and steps out from the shadow.
