Arisa Yasaratne performs in the contemporary Hong Kong theatre production 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》) by Rooftop Productions (天台製作). She sits barefoot on a simple chair center stage, bathed in a dramatic, singular spotlight that casts a sharp shadow behind her. Behind her, a large projection screen displays a document titled 'What the HELL are your options?', featuring a photograph of an ethnic minority individual. Her hands are outstretched in an evocative gesture, embodying the play's themes of identity and linguistic struggle. The performer poignantly reflects: 'And sometimes Cantonese is the fourth or fifth language for this child.'
