A programme series under the theme of "Myth Breaker on Breaking Hell Gate & Nanyin" will be held in December to introduce traditional funeral rites and Nanyin, a form of traditional music popular in the Pearl River Delta region.

Taoist priest and Taoist priest consultant of the movie The Last Dance Leung Chun will hold two talks on the first floor of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum Theatre for two consecutive Sundays this month.

The first talk, scheduled for December 15 from 2.30pm to 4pm, will unveil the traditional funeral rites and their underlying meaning.

The second talk, slated for December 22 from 2.30pm to 4pm, will unveil the role and significance of a Taoist priest in serving as a guide to lead the deceased.

The talks will open for admission 15 minutes before they start. Admission is free on a first come, first served basis.

Nanyin, the other intangible cultural heritage for this programme, is featured throughout The Last Dance.

"'A Wanderer's Autumn Grief' - Nanyin" will be performed by local troupe “The Gong Strikes One” on December 21 from 2pm to 3pm at the Hall on the first floor of the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

The troupe will introduce the structure, history and culture connotations of Nanyin, particularly its connection with funeral rites. There will also be a live performance for the audience to experience and enjoy the music.
