Just a few highlights from the November issue of Muse:


Hong Kong’s award-winning stage makeup artist Sunny Chan Ming-long’s career has taken him from a tenuous artistic existence during the Cultural Revolution, to experiences backstage at the U.S. Metropolitan Opera. Our Muse profile accompanies Sunny behind the masks of Hong Kong’s theatre performers.


Space, or lack of it, has long been a burden for Hong Kong artists. A new government policy aimed at promoting revitalization of industrial buildings is now undermining the most promising source of studio space and reviving an old debate: Does the government know how to nurture art without smothering it?


Perry Lam looks at the Action Men of Hong Kong cinema, and examines the different heroic styles of Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan
