“Can a rotten soul hear its own echo?”

The Plot
Starry and Scarlett are duo popular idols. Starry, while lacking singing talent, does everything to keep up her attractive appearance. Scarlett, the better singer with a character, performs philanthropic deeds to put up nice images for the duo. This intricate balance can be maintained until one day when a distressed child forces them to a difficult moral choice. While popular support may ebb and flow, where can they find the true voice of praise? From the fans, or from their own hearts?

The taste of food evokes memories, and local food very often reflects the stories, heritage and folk wisdom of our previous generation. Through community performances and roving exhibitions, the programme takes a reminiscent look at the traditional food culture in Hong Kong with its audience to help building strong and loving families.

The experiential interactive inclusive theatre is curated by art practitioners with disabilities and jointly performed by visually impaired actors. Presenting the viewpoint of wheelchair users, the programme shows the community and the world in a different light, and creates an empathetic experience for the audience as they change their perspectives and daily routes.

A lonely old man eats on his own, tells jokes to himself, and is sure life will remain like this forever. But surprise! Lively young neighbour, Ah Hoi, is able to banish his lethargy and reignite his joy for living. Brimming with renewed confidence, the old man sets out to sea again to look for the big fish he has been waiting to catch. Inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s novel, “The Old Man and the Sea”, Free-To-Play brings together life-sized puppets, popular in Europe, with miniature puppets and shadow puppets to show how both old and young can unexpectedly find new purpose, poetry, and fun in everyday existence.
