# Image Archive: Presence: Investigating High Table Traditions

![In a rehearsal for the contemporary Hong Kong theatre production 'Presence' (遙距在場), actor Mak Ho-tin (麥晧鈿) squats on a patterned tile balcony, thoughtfully observing a small, black robotic vehicle labeled 'Presence' placed near a white lion sculpture. The scene, framed by historic balustrades and lush trees, evokes a sense of intimacy and technological inquiry. As Mak Ho-tin reflects on the nature of communal spaces, he speaks the line: "The origin of 'High Table' goes back to physical layout of the dining halls of English colleges at Oxford and Cambridge Universities."](https://www.rooftopproductions.hk/image/presence-phase-2-20230316-144500)
