In the summer of 1894, De Alexandre Yersin from Vietnam and Professor Shibasaburo Kitasato from Japan came to Hong Kong to assist the government in fighting an outbreak of the plague – an outbreak that was to spread across the world. Which one of them made the discovery of the bacillus was a matter of dispute at the time, but nonetheless the microbe was seen through the microscope. It was the first time anywhere in the world that the tiny organism, which for centuries had brought death and horror to millions of people around the globe, had yielded its identity to humanity’s advancing technologies, thus opening the way to vaccines and an understanding of the disease’s transmission.

Without Blood

The story of revenge spans half a century, and is narrated through characters in the flesh and in the virtual world. The troupe is renowned for fusing the languages and techniques of theatre arts and cinema into a single entity, and in so doing creates the illusion of travelling through time and space, generating soaring stories that virtually escape the four concrete walls of a theatre.

The show is a movie-style theatre production with blood and love, hatred and warmth, darkness and light, and revenge and forgiveness. In the story, a girl survives a massacre and decades later matures into a ruthless avenger. When the girl meets her revenge target, their conversation opens the floodgates for a torrent of unspoken histories and motivations. For the two lost souls, wrecked in a dark ocean of violence and spilled blood, things finally begin to make sense.

The story of the show is about a binary-coded message sent via radio transmission through the sky in 1974. A reply was received at a crop circle in 2001. Was it a proliferating communication with extra-terrestrials? Or was it the astounding work of an artist with unknown skills that surpass our knowledge? The message is clear: “I am great!”
