Hong Kong Microfest was founded in 2008 to bring the best international, small-scale theatre to Asia’s World City. Our work around the world has allowed us to see some extraordinary productions of a type seldom seen here. We aim to bring the very best performances to Hong Kong, therefore shows for Microfest are selected either from those we have seen or companies whose work we know and respect.
If you wish to perform at future Hong Kong Microfests, please contact us and tell us about your company and show.
As well as an annual festival, Microfest will bring one-off international work to Hong Kong plus produce professional theatre here.
