In a dramatic scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》), actor Mohammad Kashif Ali sits on a simple wooden chair center-stage, illuminated by a stark spotlight in an otherwise dark, minimalist theatre space. He wears a grey t-shirt and light-colored trousers, gesturing expressively with his hands while narrating a historical account. Behind him, a large projection displays a vintage, high-contrast photograph of the 'Sha Tau Kok Police Station' with text referencing the events of 1967. As the performer reflects on this historical moment in the play, he recounts, '1000 people came to Sha Tau Kok village, came shouting, along the border.'
