In this scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' at WestK, actor Lo Man-chak, portraying the roles of Himself and God, stands on a dimly lit stage. A giant vertical screen behind him displays a vibrant, close-up image of a traditional ornate deity mask being held by large hands. The stage is bathed in deep blue theatrical lighting, with four performers gathered around a central set piece under a spotlight. The visual narrative explores themes of divinity and human struggle, captured in this production at the West Kowloon Cultural District. The performance features the poignant line: 'If there's an end in sight, it would be much easier for them to bear.'
