活動簡介 Introduction

「你邊喥鄉下？」

鄉下，除了表格上的藉貫之外，還代表什麼？潮洲話、上海話、台山話，「自己人，打死冇相干！」、「阿拉上海寧！」。上一代流利使用的鄉下話，新一代的香港人還說得到、聽得懂嗎？伍宇烈、盧宜均及劉榮豐繼2019年在大館呈獻好評如潮、一票難求的《Tri 家仔》之後，再次聯手打造全新創作《撈鬆》，從鄉下方言出發，說唱似遠還近的語言與故事。「撈鬆」是廣東人對外省人的稱呼，香港曾大批吸納外省移民，大概你我的上幾代都曾是「撈鬆」，與那陌生的鄉土有一絲關連。劉榮豐與盧宜均將會把各式異鄉故事，繼續以歌廳cabaret形式，輕鬆混搭於一夜歌聲對談之中，多聲道唱出香港這個文化溶爐的生活與回憶，連結跨代的根源與傳承。

“Where are you from? Where are you REALLY from?”

This trivial bit of information seems to be useful only while filling in application forms. However, what else does our place of ancestry represent? Other than a few choice slangs, Hong Kong people are all but detached from the dialects spoken fluently among the older generations. Continuing to tackle this bittersweet relationship is LauZone co-created by Yuri Ng, Anna Lo and Rick Lau. As the creative team behind the critically acclaimed and hit production Tri Ka Tsai showcased also at Tai Kwun in 2019, the multi-talented trio presents another poignant yet playful performance on the rich variety of Chinese dialects. “Lau Zone” is the Cantonese colloquial term towards non-Cantonese natives, which essentially includes most of the older Hong Kongers being immigrants to the city. Get ready for the euphony of dialects, music, and laughter as Rick Lau and Anna Lo shine in a cabaret show that sings tribute to the lives and memories of the melting pot known as Hong Kong as well as our roots and inherited legacy.

粵語、英語、普通話及少量其他方言演出，部份內容設中英文字幕。Performed in Cantonese, English, Putonghua and some other dialects with partial Chinese and English surtitles.

演出長約1小時10分鐘，不設中場休息。Approximately 1 hour 10 minutes without intermission.

本節目將設演後藝人談A post-performance talk with members of the creative team will be hosted. 。
