In a dramatic scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'The Furies Variations' (《復仇變奏曲》), a central male performer (Chou Henick) sits semi-nude on an examination table, gesturing upward under stark, cool-toned stage lighting. He is flanked by two performers (Lung Jes and Yau Fuk Wing) draped in ethereal white garments, who stand by the table, framing the composition with a sense of classical tragedy and modern theatrical tension. The atmospheric lighting emphasizes the high-contrast aesthetic typical of Hong Kong's independent performance arts scene. The central performer leans into his role, speaking the line: 'Aren’t there two kinds of story, one true and the other false?'

The Furies Variations: Truth and Lies

Chou Henick, Lung Jes, and Yau Fuk Wing explore the tension between reality and artifice. 'Aren’t there two kinds of story, one true and the other false?'
