Singer Terence Lam takes Hong Kong Coliseum stage for 6-night run, the first performance since Mirror concert accident
- Venue was handed over to Terence Lam’s concert organiser as scheduled on August 13, after police finished gathering evidence
- Lam performed with minimal stage effects and remained mostly stationary
Singer-songwriter Terence Lam Ka-him started a six-night concert run under tightened rules with a stripped down set at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Friday, the first show at the venue since an accident during a performance by boy band Mirror last month.
Unlike usual entrances on an elevated platform, Lam walked up the stage to the piano, where he performed with minimal stage effects for the crowd.
Dancers joined Lam on stage for songs later in the show, but he remained mostly stationary, only walking towards different corners of the stage between verses.
The singer later said during the show that most stage effects were removed under the new regulations.
As suspended mechanical devices designed to swing, rotate or carry people have been temporarily banned at government performance venues, the organiser revealed that some props would have to be placed onstage for extended periods, blocking some audience members from a full view of the stage.
