The Office of Student Affairs is proud to present the very first student-led multi-cultural music theatre performance. The show, titled OASIZ, is a joint effort of a group of CUHK students from diverse backgrounds. Attending a 15-class music theatre workshop guided by a theatre scholar, who is also a CUHK alumna, the students have utilised their creativity and talent to bring this original show to life – from script writing to music composition, choreography, designs and acting. After months of brain racking preparation and sweat shedding rehearsal, this musical finally brings a collage of acting, singing and dancing which sets to enchant our audience!

Synopsis

Hong Kong is known for being a globalised hub. And yet, how many colours are truly allowed to shine here? With five young people from different cultural backgrounds against society, who are they to decide what is ideal and what should be changed? Differences collide, but voices are heard for the first time in this apartment they would share. How would they choose to survive in such a desert?
