颜色灿烂纷陈的非洲蜡染布，飘洋过海，遍及印度、印尼、荷兰、非洲、中国等世界各地，流动性生命力十足。布、颜料、模板，在穿越数百年的时间里，被不同的人赋予不同的内容。在某一个瞬间，已经无法辨认这是何时何处的布，在一个集装箱和货轮上停留，将被谁买去裁剪成衫，被穿去怎样的生活与世界里。

广州编舞二高（何其沃）继《来来舞厅》（2018年）、《蝴蝶岛》（2023年）后，于2026年再次与香港大馆合作，创作《一匹布咁長》的新作——《步步高》。从广州小北的多元文化社区出发，他以花俏的蜡染布，编织舞蹈奇想，缝合古灵精怪的山寨趣味，延续对当地社群的关怀。著名录像及多媒体艺术家曹斐，首度担任舞蹈剧场艺术顾问，助力此剧的创作。诚邀ACT的观众走进色彩斑斓的未来步行街与未来世界商店，参与一场意想不到的热闹庆典！

Ergao, the Guangzhou-based choreographer known for his humorous and quirky style, returns with a new dance work inspired by the vibrant, colorful world of batik fabric. Following his previous works Let’s Dance (2018) and Butterfly Island (2023), this piece weaves together dance fantasies with playful, makeshift aesthetics, extending his ongoing concern for marginalized communities. The renowned video and multimedia artist Cao Fei serves as the artistic consultant for this dance theatre piece, marking their first collaboration in this role.

The performance invites audiences into a colorful "future pedestrian street" and a futuristic world shop to partake in an unexpected and lively celebration. The space will be filled with vibrant batik fabrics, while dancers move among them, blending African dance, traditional Chinese folk dance, contemporary dance, and martial arts forms like Wing Chun and Hung Kuen. The performance also transforms the theatre into a unique future street, where batik fabrics are shaped into human forms, awakening in a ceremony that celebrates life and rebirth.
