In a dramatic scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Not The Maids' (不是女僕), a performer’s hands are raised in the air, delicately cupping a glowing, translucent object that illuminates their palms against the deep shadows of the stage. The stark contrast between the bright light and the moody, dark background evokes the intense emotional atmosphere typical of Hong Kong experimental performance. One performer whispers, "Oh Fortune, like the moon."
