Tai Kwun (around many places)
I’m not waiting for you.
In the 1980s, two women were imprisoned in Victoria Prison, where they experienced an unexpected romance. Their growing affections for each other were interrupted as one was released while the other wrote love poems of longing on her bed board. When released from prison, she discovered that her lover had already married. She suppressed her mishmash of feelings and started a family as well. Approaching 1997, she did not want to live in a bigger prison. The decision to immigrate prompted a final rendezvous and conversation in which deep feelings were cast aside but never forgotten. Inspired by a bed board with love poems found in a women’s prison, this
groundbreaking immersive production, features artists Pat To Yan (theatre), Kingsley Ng (media installation) and Chow Yiu Fai (lyric Artist), will lead the audience to tread a path that explores Tai Kwun then and now.
