Nanyang Kopi –
Brew Performance

Part of LIVE a (RE)CREATION (逸東現場藝術節2026), JC Lim leads a workshop performance drawing on a coffee-brewing method learned from an aunt’s Hainanese coffee heritage, using traditional Nanyang-style coffee grounds and equipment. The session combines storytelling and a shared tasting, featuring a rare coffee from Hainan discovered by JC Lim that traces the reverse migration of Nanyang coffee culture from the 1950s. JC Lim will taste it for the first time alongside the audience, drawing parallels between the movement of coffee culture and family lineage while exploring narratives of migration and refuge across physical and imagined realms. The event runs 1:30-3:00 PM in the 4F Music Room. Tickets are HKD150, with a 20% early-bird discount available until 13/11/2026. Admission includes one alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink. Tickets are available on Eventbrite. Attendees are invited to bring their own heirloom or favorite coffee or tea cup and saucer set.
