The performance tells the story of a CAR as it journeys towards a beam of ‘light’, driving to an unknown future after saying goodbye to its owner, Toasty, at his farewell party. At the same time, a number of other cars are driving into the endless time tunnel. Along the journey, many cars start to share their own stories: some were abandoned, some were abused, some were broken up, but some were treasured. CAR’s feelings are mixed and he doesn’t know how to react when suddenly he is distracted by a familiar sound: it is Toasty, calling him. The truth is, Toasty never wanted to let CAR go. Although the two of them were at different locations in space and time, now there is good news on the way…

It’s time to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the “Fruit Village”! However, Grape is tired of the place and Pineapple has quarrelled with his neighbours, so they decide to leave the village together! They set out on a journey and meet various fruits with different personalities that inspire them a lot. Suddenly, just as they want to invite their new friends to go home with them to join the anniversary party, they realise that good times never last, as they are in danger and may never go back…

The story is set in Ancient Greece. Dionysus’s father hopes that his son will inherit his incomparable courage to overcome his fear of nature. However Dionysus is overly dependent on his father and had been shy since he was a little boy.

One night, during a massive thunderstorm, Dionysus’s father encounters the God of Death. With his dying breath, he tells Dionysus to leave the mountain alone, pass through the dark forest, and sail across the stormy sea in a small boat, to find a doctor. To save his dying father, Dionysus has no choice but to find his mettle and carry out his father’s instructions. The incident helps Dionysus find the courage to face future challenges and never be afraid again.

The show will be performed in the style of an ancient Greek drama. Some performers will wear masks while others are specially made up. The plot will be presented mainly through the actors’ use of body gestures and voice, along with the choir. Aiming to introduce the audience to the origin and historical development of drama, this programme will also enable the student participants to appreciate a performing art form that they rarely encounter. An educational interactive session will be held after the performance, a chance for the students to try performing behind masks.

Pants Theatre Production specialises in exploring subjects of social significance and expressing them through drama to stimulate audiences to think about the issues. It will present the Choi Yuen Chuen rally in the form of Documentary Theatre in March next year.

Documentary Theatre is based mainly on social reality, focusing on noteworthy incidents or phenomena. The creators study the issues, gather oral and written materials and combine them with artistic imagination to create a successful work that reflects society and at the same time preserves its sense of drama.

Associate Professor of the Department of Cultural Studies at Lingnan University Dr Law, Wing-sang once said of the Choi Yuen Chuen rally: “This incident is undoubtedly a significant event in Hong Kong’s history…it is a revolutionary act that contains a rich content and involves extensive aspects”. It is true that the Choi Yuen Chuen rally had a wide impact. Despite that it is still in progress it has already had a deep influence.

Based on the drama “Redevelopment” and the data collected, Pants Theatre Production will explore further aspects and visit related parties to create a new version of the drama: “Once Upon a Time in Choi Yuen Chuen…”! “Once Upon a Time in Choi Yuen Chuen…” is written by the winner of the Hong Kong Theatre Libre for Best Screenplay Mundo, directed by Pants Theatre Production Artistic Director Wu Hoi Fai and performed by a number of creative actors, hoping to lead the students to review and rethink one of the important events in recent local history.

This programme will be presented in the form of the dress rehearsal of a theatre performance.

Students will have the opportunity to play different roles and experience how each role, be it on the stage or at the backstage, contributes to the production. Plus, they will learn from an interactive image-and-stage demonstration that showcases how the stage and the backstage teams work together. Finally, students will have the chance to exchange with the production team in a finale Q&A session.
