Examining life’s creases and folds, fashioning cultural landscapes An introduction to the HKRep’s 2023–24 season curious how people shoulder the unbearable lightness and weight of being, so I pen and direct Liu Rushi, my Dear in search for an answer.

What makes Hong Kong so unique is its geographical accessibility, the many twists in its history, and the juxtaposition of diverse cultural traditions, as well as its requisite openness and tolerance. I consider them Hong Kong’s advantages. We are committed, whether in original works “made in Hong Kong” or adapted and imported repertory, to present a broad vista, to connect with the times with open arms, to engage with the human spirit and to uphold our heritage, crafting a contemporary theatre that is emblematic of Hong Kong and worthy of this place.

November is opportune for beginning long journeys, and we find ourselves in Moscow. Anton Chekhov’s insights in his plays and substantial number of novellas, treasures in their respective genres, have left many in awe. I selected 11 stories, each striking at our hearts and challenging our intellect. As I journey through these novellas, I create Moscow Express, directed by Lee Chun Chow. I’ve long held to the belief that Lee is an actor and director who has “attained the wisdom of Tao”. Although he has moved to Canada, he returns to the Hong Kong stage, guiding our travels through time and space, observing the ways of 19th-century Moscow and seeing our own world reflected therein.

The Hong Kong Repertory Theatre just celebrated its 45th anniversary. For our 2023–24 season, we use the motto “Life’s creases and folds” in guiding our productions, opening new chapters, forging a new path. When the earth’s surface shifts, subterranean strata belonging to different tectonic plates crease and fold, thus forming mountains and valleys. Life is comparable in that human beings are constantly in motion.

Caught between a single moment and eternity, our emotional palettes collide as we experience life’s ups and downs. With sincere hearts, we delve into a fine selection of stage works examining life’s creases and folds, sharing with the audience visceral experiences ranging from emotional outbursts to the calm of placid waters.

December is a month marked by reunions as we greet the homecoming of a great advocate. Need I say more about The Impossible Trial – a musical? I don’t think so. But I must remind theatregoers who missed out during the pandemic: If you don’t want to miss out again, you should pull your trigger now.

Apparently, many who saw the premiere run are adamant to fight for tickets again. Are you worried? You’d better be. Also, I must congratulate Leon Ko, Chris Shum, Cheung Fei Fan and Fong Chun Kit. Together, you have created a milestone of Hong Kong original musical theatre, a gem that stands radiant.

May is an auspicious month to sound the gong and start everything anew. We launch the season with The Isle, an updated version of my work from three decades ago. At that time, I was a young man making reckless proclamations about love and mocking the world’s candour. Times have passed, flora and fauna on the island and my own words have since been scoured, but what has been discarded and what remains are still palpable. The Isle is directed by our three newly-appointed Assistant Artistic Directors: Fong Chun Kit, Lau Shau Ching and Yau Ting Fai. Now at the height of their powers, they dare to innovate on solid foundations they built throughout the years.

These three directors are rational and passionate, joining all six hands in creating something new celebrating the lingering fragrance that is the isle.

0324 is a good time for critical thinking. Our season ends in March 2024 with co-directors Fung Wai Hang and Octavian Chan bringing contemporary British playwright Robert Icke’s The Doctor to Hong Kong. An incident about healthcare goes viral, inciting the public into controversial debates on religious, racial and sexual discrimination. The truth is constantly deconstructed, twisted to the extreme, making us ponder “post-truth” and life in today’s media landscape. Although Fung left the HKRep last September, she is keen to bring this fine work on stage, returning not only to direct but also to play the title character. How fortuitous is that? We eagerly await your return.

Listed above is the sailing schedule for our Main Stage.

July is the time for fun! Fong Chun Kit injects Chinese martial arts elements into Molière’s Les Fourberies de Scapin, formulating a new comedy about love and marriage in Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2023 that serves as a tribute to the 401st anniversary of the French comic master’s birth. Marriage should be a matter between two people. Yet romantic love buckles under the pressures of the heroic world of swords and daggers. Molière’s pen is a sword that whittles the absurd. Fong sounds the alarm on the east yet attacks from the west, piercing a hole in our bizarre world today. Deep meanings are hidden in the hilarious moments of martial arts chivalry.

Come September we wax nostalgic as a lady transports herself from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. A rare beauty who excels in the arts and letters, she is fiercely independent, daring to love and hate, even giving up her life for family and country. Praised as “a woman warrior and belle” by historian Chen Yinke, Liu Rushi ranks at the top among the “Eight Beauties of Qinhuai River”. As dynasties change, one is caught in that historical moment “to-be-or-not-to-be”. I’m very

02

The Spoon and The Bucket both came into being thanks to The Open Platform, which the HKRep established to nurture and develop original local plays. Our season also heralds the relaunch of our Theatre Literature Department, as we strengthen its reach in establishing the “Project Kite” to attract young playwriting talents, to give voice to you, and to pen our stories, so even more scripts can take flight and connect with thousands of golden strands dancing in the air. Finally, I have an equally momentous piece of news to share: the HKRep received support from the Development Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government in renovating an erstwhile site in Jordan (former Portuguese Community School, also known as Escola Camões) as the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre Education Hub, and we expect to open this facility by the second half of 2023. With this new home base, our theatre education endeavours will be equipped with renewed energy, fulfilling our mission of “learn a better life”, “ask for a better life”, “create a better life” and “build a better life”.

We put in such hard work because we want to help advance Hong Kong culture, one brick at a time, so as to live up to the promise of this place.

This self-introduction is rather long. I thank you for reading it to the end.

All aboard! Set sail!

Poon Wai Sum Artistic Director

Our Black Box launches its 2023–24 season with Landing to Blossom. Our playwright is a soft-spoken gentleman, yet he can be ruthless. In this play, an unconventional family is strung up and caned without creating a din. Fragments of love and hatred that litter on the ground create a mosaic of an era. I’ve said this before, please take note of Kwok Wing Hong, a badass among playwrights. Director Yu Hon Ting is a theatrical triple-threat: an excellent playwright, director and actor. Now a member of the HKRep, Yu is like a fish in water, and our pond is all the merrier.

For our second stop, we revisit Sœurs, a tour-de-force about two women born of the same ilk, both ferocious and sensitive. Because of pandemic measures last year, French playwright-director Pascal Rambert only managed to work online with the cast, and our outstanding female warriors—Karrie Tan and Mercy Wong —used their consummate skills in playing with, against and alongside each other, whizzing the drama to maddening heights. This time, Rambert comes to Hong Kong to work with the team, ensuring an even more blistering production about family bonds.

Our third stop is a crime scene in The Spoon. At tether’s end, a man resorts to become a hitman. Well, it does confirm the perennial adage about survival of the fittest. However, he is limited to using one tool of destruction—a spoon! Does it make sense? Playwright Alfie Leung extends his imagination, creating a cruel yet realistic tale illustrating “fittest survives and everyone else dies, and there is no rhyme or reason”. Indeed, Director Yau Ting Fai spoons out all shades of emotion in this parable about life. The final stop in our Black Box season is The Bucket. In a virtual renaissance age, four Westerners deeply influenced by Chinese culture jointly profess an oath of brotherhood: “We ask not the same year, month and day of birth; but wish to die on the same year, month and day”. Who can predict that one of them coughs out blood and dies within minutes? Since the others only have one more day to live, how do they spend their remaining time? Playwright Hui Chun Pong has a knack for creating dramatic scenarios and devising interconnected characters engaged in exhilarating tug-of-wars, where everything is twisted and deformed, yet so real it could be you and me.

Indeed, Director Yau Ting Fai spoons out all shades of emotion in this parable about life. The final stop in our Black Box season is The Bucket. In a virtual renaissance age, four Westerners deeply influenced by Chinese culture jointly profess an oath of brotherhood: “We ask not the same year, month and day of birth; but wish to die on the same year, month and day”. Who can predict that one of them coughs out blood and dies within minutes? Since the others only have one more day to live, how do they spend their remaining time? Playwright Hui Chun Pong has a knack for creating dramatic scenarios and devising interconnected characters engaged in exhilarating tug-of-wars, where everything is twisted and deformed, yet so real it could be you and me.

Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2023 is a “fusion” injecting new energy into French comic master Molière’s Les Fourberies de Scapin.

余翰廷、吳家良 (○組)

Two young leaders of a martial arts clan commit to marry their true loves. But because the ladies do not come from the right stock, the elders forbid both unions. These men may be equipped with the best fighting skills, but they are powerless under the circumstances. So they ask for help from their house servant Scapin—a man with no physical training whatsoever, yet wily in his ways. Will Scapin succeed with his countless ploys, or will the schemes backfire?

Assistant Artistic Director Fong Chun Kit “transplants” the background, characters and dialogue from Louis XIV’s France to the world of martial arts. The cast rises to the challenge, adding comic improvisations to brand a unique “Hong Kong imprint” on Molière! Theatregoers witness the vagaries of human character and, through raucous laughter, learn about the immortal nature of this work.

Following the success of Hu Xueyan, my Dear, HKRep Artistic Director Poon Wai Sum creates another work based on a historical figure, Liu Rushi, a beautiful and talented courtesan from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties widely praised as the top among “Eight Beauties of Qinhuai River”. A patriot who lives with honour, Liu befriends famous scholars in the Jiangnan region, having tumultuous romances with two of the “Three Scholars of Yunjian”, Song Zhengyu and Chen Zilong. Eventually, she marries the sage Qian Qianyi, many decades her senior, which causes quite a stir. When the Qing army overruns the Ming court, Qian’s fate suffers a downturn, but their love for each other remains strong.

Poon Wai Sum uses his unique perspective and finely etched writing, connecting with the core of Chinese cultural sentiment while employing Western theatrical aesthetics. Liu Rushi, my Dear provides an enticingly contemporary portrait of an ancient female figure.

16.3 –1.4 2024

A teenager is at death’s door after her botched abortion, and a priest hopes to perform the last rites. Yet Ruth, the doctor in charge, refuses this request out of medical concerns. The incident goes viral and becomes a hot topic on social media, with many clamouring for the hospital to make an official response.

Shouldering the weight of her own career as well as the future of the hospital, Ruth is under attack. At the same time, she faces tremendous pressure that is in her private life…

The Doctor is a breakthrough contemporary drama that Robert Icke adapted from Viennese playwright Arthur Schnitzler’s Professor Bernhardi of 1912. The Doctor was nominated as Best New Play at the Olivier Awards in 2020.

Playing Ruth the doctor is former Assistant Artistic Director Fung Wai Hang, joined by outstanding HKRep company members as they delve into the “post-truth” era. With the online information blitz under attack by media pundits, opinions outflank facts and algorithms dictate the winds of change, rocking the very foundation of science, religion and civilisation. The Doctor dissects the furtive surface of our murky world, throwing down the gauntlet in search of truth for both cast and audience alike. We invite you to take this mind-blowing journey recounting an absurd tale of a professional scandal.

16.3 –1.4 2024

A teenager is at death’s door after her botched abortion, and a priest hopes to perform the last rites. Yet Ruth, the doctor in charge, refuses this request out of medical concerns. The incident goes viral and becomes a hot topic on social media, with many clamouring for the hospital to make an official response.

Shouldering the weight of her own career as well as the future of the hospital, Ruth is under attack. At the same time, she faces tremendous pressure that is in her private life…

親離世，分隔異地的姊妹再次聚首，不堪回首的往事倏地襲來：兒時的陰霾、成長的競賽，都留下

不可磨滅的創傷，然而二人心底始終渴求對方的愛。可是家庭的缺失，令兩姊妹的裂痕加深，破鏡難 以重圓。這次見面，最終引發一場驚濤駭浪、殘酷無情的罵戰，無可逃脫，只能直面。

《姊妹》由法國著名劇場及電影導演、編劇和形體創作人Pascal Rambert創作及執導，曾以法語及西 班牙語版本上演，2022年於黑盒劇場首次以粵語演出，場場爆滿，引起觀眾迴響。是次Rambert將

親自來港執導，由團員陳煦莉和黃慧慈再次挑戰演技極限，利用語言、節奏與空間的張力，於黑盒獻 上一齣優秀的國際作品。

When two sisters reunite from afar after their mother’s death, painful memories resurface from their childhood: incidents that scarred them, and their competitiveness while growing up. Deep in the cracks is still the desire for love, no matter how hopeless. However, the crevice between the two grows even wider in this long overdue encounter. Their reunion turns into a tumultuous, vicious, head-on confrontation from which the two cannot escape, no matter how hard they try.

The 2022 Hong Kong premiere of the Cantonese version Sœurs at the Black Box enjoyed sold out houses and great acclaim. This time, the renowned theatre and film director and playwright himself, Pascal Rambert arrives in person to work with company members Karrie Tan and Mercy Wong, presenting an excellent international stage work to our audience.

若要不死便詐死 一

名欠債累累的平面設計師求助無門，迫於無奈接下一單暗殺任務！客仔要求多多，

為了迎合客仔需要，「蛇𠺌」設計師腦筋急轉彎，拿著一隻匙羹找上大學同學，合力完 成最後一次精心設計的「作品」！

編劇梁澤宇從自身感悟出發，配以荒誕 情節，寫出一闕「打工仔」掙扎求存的悲歌。 由助理藝術總監邱廷輝執導，且看劇中人如何精心佈局，詐一場完美的「死」！

A graphic designer burdened with debt switches professions and becomes a hitman. His clients are so demanding that he resorts to all sorts of creative solutions: he even grabs a spoon in search of his university classmate, collaborating in a finely crafted “art work”!

Alfie Leung bases his script from personal experience, adding absurd plot twists and capturing the average working man's struggle to survive. Assistant Artistic Director Yau Ting Fai creates a perfect interpretation through the nifty plot.

During a “fake” renaissance era, four relatively accomplished “Westerners” befriend each other finding camaraderie. They then decide to emulate the ancients in swearing a blood oath: “We ask not the same year, month and day of birth; but wish to die on the same year, month and day.” But their oath suddenly becomes a curse.

Up-and-coming playwright Hui Chun Pong explores “what is art?” in his distinctive style. He also reflects on the struggle of creative talents in our world today.

好劇本難寫，因此難求，本地原創的好劇本更是可遇不可求。

It is hard to write a good script, and we count our lucky stars when we encounter a fine script that is local and original. In the past, the HKRep had established numerous programmes to nurture local, original plays—Script Development Scheme, The Open Platform, Playwright’s Lab, and Project Alchemist—all of which delivered positive results. In order to encourage and discover even more creative talents, we embark on the “Project Kite” this season based on “Life’s creases and folds”, with an open call for Chinese-language scripts. We’ll select up to 20 scripts for reading, then pick the top five! Winners not only receive cash prizes, but they will also be invited to participate in a six-month playwriting workshop hosted by Artistic Director Poon Wai Sum. A fully-fledged script or two may even be included in future HKRep season!
