the

stage,

Single Girl premiered as an ensemble piece in February in Yokohama, Japan, and was then

performed by Ng's troupe at the Tendances Festival

in France last month. In this latest incarnation, it has been pared down to a one-woman show.

It does not make any great technical demands on the dancer but requires a sustained emotional commitment. Yeung, whose elfin face and bobbed hair

bring to mind a Chinese version of Audrey Hepburn, injects just the right mix of pathos and deadpan

humour.

As the audience files in, she sits demurely in a

wedding dress, waiting for the groom. A camera

flashes, and she comes to life, realising she has been left at the altar. Then we realise the 'dress' is made of

plastic bags - a mordant comment, perhaps, on the ephemeral nature of modern relationships.

The bags then become all manner of props: a pillow deflating along with her dreams, a harsh brush to scrub away at perceived failures, a diaper as she reverts to

Yeung is back to perform her own piece, Three Fairytales -

Fairytales is somewhat disjointed and difficult to

ideas are there, and with the right nourishment Yeung might sprout into a talent worth watching.
