In this solo dark comedy, the protagonist confronts the struggles of growing up in Hong Kong, where rigid societal expectations often overshadow the need for love and connection.
Growing up as a model student, the protagonist navigates the pressures of a grueling public examination and secures a place at a prestigious university. Life appears to be on track—until the onset of depression forces a reckoning with identity and purpose. If given a second chance, would she choose a different path?
Through a blend of movement and drawing, the piece delves into the themes of education, gender, and religion, and the search for self amidst confinement.
