For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
In 1993, Chung Ying Theatre Company invited British theatre director Gerry Flanagan to Hong Kong to lead a troupe of actors in a fantasy tragic comedy, Don’t Let Go! – an entertaining tale illustrating the clash of big cities and small towns with an underlying message about the urban-rural divide and property hegemony.
In 2024, Director Ata Wong Chun-Tat picks up the Don’t Let Go! script and goes on a journey with a troupe of vibrant resident actors, creating their own stage story-telling with the use of illustrious body movement. Weird, abnormal, or twisted body shape seems extremely ludicrous in this absurd world dominated by desire.
