Modern dance
A multimedia play by Dulcinee Langfelder and Compagnie from Canada, Victoria's Secret, revolves around its heroine Victoria, a dementia patient who has lost much of her memory and control of life, but that does not stop her from thinking. The leading actress Langfelder vividly presents the inner world of Victoria and shows her flair for dancing, through her performance of wheelchair tango, wheelchair tap dance and puppet pas de deux.

New-style pianist
World-renowned Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi, who tours Europe all year long, is a crossover musician who began composing in the late 1980s. Combining his exquisite skills in playing classic piano pieces with a number of popular music elements, he has successfully turned himself into a "new-style pianist" acclaimed for playing popular modern piano works. The piano and small band concert An Intimate Dialogue, that will feature Einaudi and five other musicians, promises to showcase the passion that Einaudi's performances are known for.

Jin Yangping oils
The oil paintings by Jin Yangping show urban landscapes, nature and interiors. With his virtuoso use of alternating thin layers and thick impasto, and a ingenious play of foreground and background, Jin manages to construct a complex image that requires an intensive investigation. In some of his paintings he combines painting with photography to stress that imagery is partly extracted from digital media.
