With the Sun, She Quells the Night – A Tribute to Rebecca Pan is dedicated to the Hong Kong cultural pioneer whose career spans across entertainment, music and art, and who continues to inspire emerging talents today. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist herself, the exhibition rejuvenates archival materials through a variety of display methods and combines the historical material with the contemporary art of today. Together, the integrated exhibition experience places into dialogue the past and the present, Rebecca and us.

Artist Enoch Cheng worked closely with the CHAT curatorial team in the shaping of the holistic exhibition experience. Cheng further captures the pioneering spirit of Rebecca in a large-scale film installation, comparing our maverick to the folkloric White Snake of Pai Niang Niang, Rebecca’s seminal production from 1972 that is also regarded as Hong Kong’s first musical in the Chinese language.
