The Seven Deadly Kisses

 

"The Seven Deadly Kisses", inspired by playwright Bertolt Brecht's "The Seven Deadly Sins of the Petty Bourgeoisie", is a ballet that narrates the journey of twin sisters who become Hollywood stars. Over seven years, each year in a different city, they commit a sin. After seven years, though successful, they return unrecognisable and estranged from their true selves. 

Created by Vee Leong, the play blends the essence of "The Little Prince" with Brechtian elements. The twins embark on an illuminating journey of 2555 days, visiting peculiar cities like "Deaf City" and "City of Stance," experiencing strange urban landscapes. They remix songs by Andy Williams and Zhou Xuan, wear 1930s fashion while singing 21st-century pop, in a contemporary legendary adventure.
