A black, rugged mobile robot equipped with a camera and a screen sits on a paved outdoor lot, with the striking, angular architecture of the Hong Kong Palace Museum in the background. This robotic device is a key element of the contemporary Hong Kong theatre production 'Presence' (《遙距在場》), used to facilitate remote performance and audience interaction. The scene captures the intersection of advanced technology and site-specific stage art. As the robot traverses the space, it seems to echo the line: "Prison, my lord?"
