Program Note: 

​

    In the sleepless heart of a bustling metropolis, dreamlike scenes unfold like frames from a classic film, portraying a journey through a city alive with restless energy. In its shadows, clumsy bandits scuttle through alleys, moving like rats on a mission, their actions blend comedic slapstick with stealthy mischief. A chase erupts around the corner, winding through the streets with mounting tension and urgency until, just in time, a heroic lone figure appears to save the day, silhouetted against the city's towering skyline—a nod to the golden era of action, marvel, and wonder.


Amidst the shimmering lights, a couple sways, lost in their romantic embrace. Yet, just beyond sight, danger still lurks around the corners of the night.
