On a dimly lit stage bathed in striking blue spotlights, performers from Rooftop Productions (天台製作) enact a scene from their contemporary theatrical piece, 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' (《天真與世故之歌》). In the center, a large vertical screen projects a close-up portrait of Caroline Chan (as Satan/Lucifer). Flanking the screen, actors move in dynamic, choreographed poses—some kneeling, some lunging—capturing the intense, ritualistic atmosphere of this Hong Kong theatre production. One performer echoes the show's dark, poetic themes: "Like a cruel angel."

Caroline Chan as Satan looms over the stage, embodied by the cast through ritualistic movement: 'Like a cruel angel.'
