The World of Charles Kao in 20 Original Songs
featuring Next-Gen Arts-Tech X All-Star Cast and Creative Team
The purity of Professor Charles Kao’s heart connected every person on earth and transformed the future of humanity. Renowned as the father of fibre optics and a Nobel laureate in Physics, Kao once claimed Hong Kong was where he belonged. This biographical musical chronicles Kao’s relentless pursuit of knowledge and the steadfastness of his beliefs, following his journey as an extraordinary and selfless scientist and educator. He was also a devoted son, a loyal husband and an open-minded father. His love story with his wife, Gwen, is legendary. Even during Kao’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, Gwen stood by him unwaveringly through ups and downs, offering the truest form of love. Kao’s life attests to the profound power of love and his dedication to humanity.
