In a poignant rehearsal scene from Rooftop Productions’ contemporary Hong Kong theatre piece 'Presence' (《遙距在場》), actor Michelle Li sits on the floor of a dimly lit room filled with hanging garments. She gestures thoughtfully towards a traditional camphor wood chest, illuminated by the vibrant, neon-colored glows of small robotic devices at her feet. This intimate moment highlights the interplay between technology and memory in experimental stage performance. As she interacts with the props, she reflects: 'The camphor wood chest'.
