# Image Archive: Testimony: The Treaty of 1816

![In this evocative production shot from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Testimony' ('山下的證詞'), an actor stands center stage bathed in soft light, his expression one of contemplative intensity. Behind him, a large projection displays historical images of soldiers from the 1816 era, creating a stark juxtaposition between past conflicts and the present-day performer. This multimedia approach is characteristic of the innovative staging found in Hong Kong's independent theatre scene. A text overlay on the screen reads, 'In 1816, they signed the Treaty of Sugauli.'](https://www.rooftopproductions.hk/image/testimony-20190815-162349)
