Exploring five key elements – space, pace, functionality, spirituality and identity – “The Will to Build” examines the past, present and future of Hong Kong’s relentless cycle of construction and destruction, and its effects on the bodies, hearts and minds of the city’s inhabitants. It skillfully weaves together verbatim transcripts of Theatre du Pif’s interviews with real people who are intimately involved in and affected by our city’s obstinate will to build.

In this production, Theatre du Pif again collaborates with BURST TV, a London-based collective of multi-media artists who have worked on a touring project with the Pet Shop Boys. They have also invited Australian actress Claire Nicholls to join the production. The local team includes Bonni Chan (director/ text/ performer), Charfi Hung (stage designer), Lau Ming-hang (lighting designer) and Cheng Man-wing (costume designer); and the main cast Sean Curran, Anson Lam, Sheung Ming-fai, Shirley Tsoi, Ivy Tsui and Benny Yu.

The winner of Pulitzer Prize for Drama tells a sentimental story between the famous French pointillist painter Georges Seurat and his lover “Dot “.
George Seurat was a French painter and the founder of Neo-impressionism. He invented “pointillism” and used color to create harmony and emotion in art. His unique style of painting was rejected by other painters. But still, Seurat devoted himself fully to his art, unable to commit to anything else – including his longtime mistress, Dot.
