In a striking scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Songs of Innocence and Experience', a performer lies flat on the stage floor, his body illuminated by a large cross-shaped spotlight. Behind him, a projection shows an identical image of the performer in the same pose, suspended in mid-air against a backdrop of silhouettes. The stark lighting and minimalist staging evoke themes of sacrifice and identity common in Hong Kong stage performances. Cheung Cheuk-hang, portraying the Angel, delivers the line: 'But I’m not Jesus, I don’t have any great ability.'
