In a dim, atmospheric scene from Rooftop Productions’ contemporary Hong Kong theatre piece 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》), performer Michelle Li stands at a desk, illuminated by a spotlight directed at an open book. A robotic camera arm hovers over the book, capturing its pages as a large-scale, out-of-focus projection of her face looms in the background, creating an intense, layered visual experience. Speaking to the core theme of the performance, Li embodies the sentiment: "One passport, one identity."
