On a dimly lit stage, Arisa Yasaratne interacts with a wooden, robot-like puppet sculpture. Behind her, a large digital projection displays a vintage photograph of two men standing outdoors, providing a historical backdrop for this scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece, 'Testimony'. As she handles the puppet, she reflects on the past: 'My grandpa was stationed on the Hong Kong border from 1970 to 1976.'
