A close-up shot of a small, custom-built robotic performance device used in the Rooftop Productions (天台製作) immersive theatre piece 'Presence' (《遙距在場》). The black robotic cart is equipped with a tablet displaying text and a smartphone mounted on top, suggesting a remote presence or telepresence performance. A small yellow flag is mounted on the side next to an antique black telephone receiver resting on a doily, evoking themes of memory and communication in contemporary Hong Kong theatre. “Sam So”, Yuen So Moy worked as a chef and dormitory worker at University Hall for more than 40 years.
