# Image Archive: Shadows of Socrates in The Furies

![In this evocative scene from Rooftop Productions’ contemporary theatre piece 'The Furies Variations' (《復仇變奏曲》), actors Yau Fuk Wing, Wong On Ting, and Chan Wing Shuen utilize shadow puppetry and dramatic lighting on stage. The performers cast silhouettes onto a screen, creating a layered visual narrative of ancient Greek tragedy reimagined for a modern Hong Kong audience. As the performers manipulate the light, a large projection on the back wall depicts a figure in silhouette, accompanying the themes of justice and divine wrath: 'Fifty years after the Oresteia was first performed, the real-life Athenian court convicted Socrates of blasphemy.'](https://www.rooftopproductions.hk/image/the-furies-variations-20181207-173325)
