A wide-angle shot of a live performance of Rooftop Productions' (天台製作) show 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' (《天真與世故之歌》) at the West Kowloon Cultural District. A diverse cast of actor-musicians, including Chin Wing-kar and Chew Yu-yeung, stand in a circle on a dark stage illuminated by warm, glowing floor candles. A massive digital backdrop displays a pair of hands holding a copy of John Milton's 'Areopagitica.' The atmosphere is dramatic and contemplative, characteristic of contemporary Hong Kong experimental theatre. As the cast gathers, a performer intones the show's philosophical core: 'Areopagitica.'
