Video and audio reviews of our work
This work echoes the growth experience of the devising actors... Some of the stories are also their personal stories, juxtaposed with John Milton's Paradise Lost. They handled the interweaving of the stories very smoothly, and because of their sincere and honest performance, the audience was very moved.
What touched me most was the personal stories between the performers and their own helpers at home.
The production was inspired by site-specific theatre, auto-theatre, immersive theatre, promenade theatre and other elements... it can be seen that a lot of effort was spent on writing the mobile app, and research into Yau Ma Tei. Allowing the audience to wander around the designated area is a very fresh experience.
While telling stories of fallen angels, they made the audience think about their own relationships with power; I think it's very successful.
The richness of this work lies in the mixture of different materials, but it makes it feel natural. This kind of hybridity, I think it belongs to the style of Rooftop Productions, but it also has a Hong Kong style; while being playful, it also makes us think about the issues discussed in the work.
This performance is very playful and crazy. I always say that if you want to know more about cutting edge productions in Hong Kong fringe theatre, Rooftop Productions is my first choice. They always provide the audience with a new way of seeing in all their productions, surprising you. The whole performance is rich and full of different elements; a feast for the eyes.
This performance impressed me a lot. They have successfully chosen their entry point for discussion. This is very important: the creative team has chosen the right approach to resonate with their audience.
The choice of props is wise; the symbolic meaning of the objects they have chosen are exact and humorous, and very closely connected to the topic. I appreciate the whole style of the performance, raw and full of energy, it feels very refreshing and fluent.
