The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau today (December 29) announced the application results of the Signature Performing Arts Programme Scheme (SPAPS).
     ​   
     On the advice of the Assessment Panel, among the 21 applications received, the Government selected two productions, namely "My Life as McDull Stage Show" by Bliss Concepts Limited and "Art Tech Dance Drama: Storm Clouds Realm of Infinite" by the Hong Kong Dance Company Limited and Pash Limited. Embodying distinctive Hong Kong characteristics and local brand intellectual property, the selected productions showcase the capacity and creativity of local arts talent, highlight the performing arts capability of Hong Kong and have potential to become long-running performances. The productions are expected to be staged in 2027.
        
     The Assessment Panel comprises experts, veteran arts and cultural practitioners, professionals with rich business acumen and experience and representatives from the Government. The Assessment Panel has examined each application's artistic merits, effectiveness in consolidating Hong Kong's position as an East-meets-West centre for cultural exchange, representativeness of Hong Kong, marketing and promotion strategy, attractiveness to a broad range of local and overseas audience, as well as viability and potential for being a long-running performance. 

     SPAPS aims to nurture world-class performing arts productions and international cultural brands that represent Hong Kong. Each selected production must stage at least 15 performances in Hong Kong and attract at least 10 000 paid audience members. Each selected production will receive a direct subsidy of up to $10 million and a matching subsidy of up to $5 million.
