A small, black robotic rover branded with the 'Presence' logo navigates a tiled floor in front of wooden double doors at the historic Douglas Castle. This custom-built device is used in the contemporary Hong Kong theatre production 'Presence' (遙距在場) by Rooftop Productions, blending technology with site-specific performance. The design of the Douglas Castle was greatly influenced by English Tudor architecture and gothic styles. The chapel (Dining Hall) has a tied timber beam roof.
