In a scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary Hong Kong theatre work 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》), actor Mohammad Kashif Ali operates a wooden puppet on a dimly lit stage. The performance is set against a large-scale projected illustration depicting a scene from the Mahabharata, with text reading, 'So the next in line should have been Yudisthira'. The atmospheric lighting highlights the intimate interaction between the performer and the puppet, capturing the essence of this experimental stage performance.
