The legend. The fighter. The visionary.

The most influential martial artist of all time and a favourite son of Hong Kong, Bruce Lee captured hearts and minds worldwide through his movies, philosophy and life. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of HKSAR’s establishment, his epic story is now a world premiere ballet. Bruce Lee: Hong Kong Legend is created by the dream team of HKB Artistic Director and choreographer Septime Webre; Tony, Grammy and Obie award-winning librettist David Henry Hwang; Academy Award-winning set and costume designer Tim Yip; the World Wushu champion and veteran action director Jaden He; renowned composer Ng Cheuk Yin; and firebrand video designer Dan Wong. This groundbreaking event will bring together a full classical orchestra, traditional Chinese instruments and contemporary pop in a rich, dynamic score.

At the moment of his untimely passing, Bruce Lee relives the events of his life as well as his quest for growth and spiritual enlightenment. Starting with his troubled childhood in Hong Kong, Lee was driven to question and reinvent as a true original thinker. Among many achievements, he revolutionised martial arts and world cinema, inventing his own style of fighting and becoming a new movie icon which the West had never known before: the Asian male hero. Through his meteoric rise to fame, unparalleled charisma and deep philosophical writings, Lee broke through barriers and shattered glass ceilings. Today, decades later, his influence and legend continue to grow. Much more than simply a martial artist or movie star, Lee was a creative visionary who popularised Asia in the world, becoming the first mass-culture symbol of a revitalised and newly rising China.
