Summer of Love

Through the lens of four photographers, SCôP's latest exhibition attempts to map out how love is celebrated differently over the past four decades, from discreet expression of love captured by Liu Heung Shing, to the material aspects of love in the wedding industry by Olivia Martin-McGuire. There will be an ongoing project during the exhibition to receive works related to love from the public.

Cats the Musical 2019

Directed by Trevor Nunn and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, this version of Cats the musical gives the Shanghai audience an authentic experience of one of the longest-running and arguably most successful shows in West End and Broadway history. Based on T.S Eliot’s poems, the musical tells a story of a tribe of cats deciding which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and return anew.
