In a rehearsal for Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Testimony' (山下的證詞), a performer manipulates a minimalist, rough-hewn puppet on a dark stage illuminated by dramatic, moody spotlighting. The actor, Mohammad Kashif Ali, focuses intently on the puppet's wooden limbs while another performer supports the head, evoking a sense of ancient storytelling brought into a modern HK theatre context. The scene captures the philosophical inquiry: "But what did Krishna say to Arjun?"
