# Image Archive: Presence: The Sunset Staged Encounter

![Two small, robotic vehicles equipped with mobile phones and microphones stand side-by-side on a white stage, silhouetted against a breathtaking Hong Kong sunset over the harbor. This performance installation for the Rooftop Productions (天台製作) contemporary theatre piece 'Presence' (《遙距在場》) explores themes of distance and human connection in modern stage performance. The scene evokes a sense of stillness and longing, as if the machines are waiting for the audience. As the performance echoes, a voice speaks: 'Dynasties change, emperors alter, ministers shift. And the people are nowhere to be seen, no chance to reunion.'](https://www.rooftopproductions.hk/image/presence-phase-2-20230316-175818)
