Review: Principle 原则 by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre (Huayi 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 1/2/20) Education is politics as two opposing ideologies go head to head in a school setting. Does school prepare students for the real world? While the academic syllabus certainly may not always apply to the working adult, the students featured in Hong Kong Repertory Theatre’s (HKRep) Principle certainly learn more than their fair share of life lessons that feel more relevant than ever … Continue reading Review: Principle 原则 by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre (Huayi 2020)

Review: Prism of Truth 眾相 by Ground Z-0 (Huayi 2020)

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 31/1/20) Modern rework of Rashomon allows audience to play jury in a multimedia social experiment.  In the field of conspiracy theory, so long as a claim cannot be disproven, the possibility of it being true exists, allowing the idea of multiple relative ‘truths’ to exist simultaneously without conforming to an absolute. Perhaps one of the earliest versions of this comes in the form … Continue reading Review: Prism of Truth 眾相 by Ground Z-0 (Huayi 2020)
