A dramatic stage shot from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'The Furies Variations' (《復仇變奏曲》). A mannequin, representing the complex figure of Clytemnestra, stands illuminated in stark blue light on a wheeled trolley, holding a mop handle. The dark, industrial theatre setting emphasizes the themes of oppression and agency found in this Hong Kong production. As the character ponders her fate, she asks, 'As a victim of oppression, is Clytemnestra not allowed to resist?'
