In a multimedia performance of the Rooftop Productions (天台製作) show 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》), actor Ng King Lung stands on a dark stage, his figure partially illuminated by a cool, blue-toned projection behind him. The projection features a larger-than-life, high-contrast close-up of Ng King Lung wearing round glasses and speaking into a microphone with an expressive, animated face. The theatrical lighting highlights the tension between the live performer and his digital persona. As he interacts with the multimedia display, Ng King Lung delivers a monologue: 'I'm pretty familiar with Athenian democracy, the Renaissance, Qin Shi Huang. But with this book, it's hard to even read the names out.'

Ng King Lung confronts the weight of history and unreadable texts in this multimedia scene from Testimony: 'I'm pretty familiar with Athenian democracy, the Renaissance, Qin Shi Huang. But with this book, it's hard to even read the names out.'
