A wide-angle promotional photo for Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Paradise Lost'. On a dimly lit stage at the West Kowloon Cultural District's The Box, a central performer stands with arms outstretched, wearing a crown-like halo prop. In front of them, a hand-held sign reads, 'Those expelled from the bounds of heaven' in Chinese. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the performer's silhouette against a warm, glowing backdrop. This production reimagines John Milton's epic poem to explore the struggles and growth of Hong Kong's youth.
