About Yat Po Singers
Yat Po Singers is Hong Kong's pioneering a cappella troupe, bringing a non-verbal theatrical experience to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In Rock Hard, a group of scouts embarks on a hiking trip, their voices echoing through time as they relive the city's past, myths and dreams. Without words — only pure vocal expression and movement — the production unveils Hong Kong's history, reflecting on the past, embracing the present and looking to the future. Merging tradition with innovation, Rock Hard is a genre-defying performance where every note tells a story.
Why see this show?
A completely wordless show where voice and movement do all the storytelling — Rock Hard is a rare chance to experience Hong Kong's history and mythology through a cappella theatre that genuinely crosses boundaries.
