In this rehearsal for Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》), actor Ng King Lung stands on a dim stage, illuminated by blue light as he holds a microphone. A large projection screen behind him displays a recursive, multi-layered video effect of his own face, creating a surreal tunnel of imagery. The aesthetic highlights the experimental staging characteristic of Hong Kong independent theatre. Ng King Lung delivers the line: 'Bhishma, this world is savage; how can one understand the savagery of this world?'
