An experimental arts pioneer and one of the most influential artists in Hong Kong and the neighboring regions, Danny Yung obtained his Bachelor's degree in Architecture at the University of California at Berkeley and Master's degree in Urban Design & Planning at Columbia University in New York. After returning to Hong Kong he became deeply involved in all aspects of the arts – including comics, theatre, film, conceptual and installation art; and in 1982 he founded the international experimental arts group Zuni Icosahedron.

Having endeavored in theatre for almost 30 years, Yung has created more than 100 pieces of works, which have widely toured to more than 30 cities. Outspoken on issues related to cultural policy, Yung is a founding member of Hong Kong Arts Development Council and a board member of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority. In 2009, Yung was honored with the Merit Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
