Our first performance was in the winter of 1998 After the show of “On the City Train She Stands,” they took a coach back to their homes in Tuen Mun, excited with their families, and seemingly the driver asked them not to be so noisy! Meanwhile, Sean and I took a ferry back to Cheung Chau, where we live
The feeling that night was similar to many of the summer nights in Edinburgh in the years before when we walked down from the venue near the Castle after our community performance projects had been completed It was the fulfillment of a journey with a group coming together to achieve something they never thought they would or could do: to perform and share their stories with an audience
During the Tuen Mun days, I did a lot of my pondering and devising on the 960 bus, inspired by the performances and the stories I heard Lines, movements, scenes it was not just about structuring a performance, but also about creating space and challenges for a group to grow together and individually Throughout the process of our work, I feel I am the one who has learned the most These mothers and housewives taught me so much about life and adaptability in theater-making
Twenty years have passed, allowing us to measure the choices and experiences we've made in life in terms of distance and depth This kind of reflection and sharing is our sweet reward this time
From preparation and workshops to rehearsals, over the past few months, they have come together amid various changes in life, sharing many aspects of their surroundings and inner worlds. I asked questions, listened, and wove their stories into a theater piece. I’m grateful for each one of their trust and friendship, as well as for Kabo’s commitment and support. And to my absolutely wonderful production team! This is not just a play; it's a collective dream come true. Bonni Summer 25

Bonni works very hard for this performance and rehearsal! Thank her so much�� for making me feel stress-free during the rehearsal and learning slowly and at ease. I hope I can work hard to do better.
Looking back, I find it easier to accept the worries and stresses I had in the past I hope that I can have a healthy body to work and travel in the future and learn more about things.

Someone once told me that it was a waste of money to go back to Hong Kong if it didn't matter This made me uneasy for two days no! This is a rare opportunity to continue the journey with sisters who have known each other for more than 20 years. Money can't buy it! We look forward to us being able to rush out of Hong Kong and head out to the world!

This journey is full of gratitude. I am grateful to Bonni and my fellow travelers for listening and accepting me, allowing me to openly reveal my inner weakness and struggle Every rehearsal is a gentle release, untying the entanglement and chains of life Now I can let go, walk towards the future with ease, and learn to enjoy every step again.

今次的演出回想起我童年的美好時光帶給我喜悅的 個⼈⽣，劇中的
This performance brings back the good times of my childhood and brings me joy The training in the play makes me seek my own ability and move forward without fear. Life is like a drama. Live in the present and follow your heart! Live casually! Follow fate! Treat yourself well so that you will not have regrets!
We have been a group of sisters for 20 years and we have the opportunity to step on the stage again this year It is so precious!
Because I have to take care of my two grandchildren full-time, I can only rehearse on Sundays. Thanks to Bonni's arrangements, I can experience this wonderful journey with other sisters
I didn’t expect that more than 20 years later we would still be able to perform together again, and it was so grand that it was shocking! Bonni had the audacity to leave this heavy task to us
I doubt my life again Is that okay? During the rehearsal, Bonni said, “Practice is our game and happiness. Just enjoy the process. ” It was indeed an unforgettable journey for me, deeply imprinted in my mind. After the performance, did it equal the end? I think it will keep us going
My husband said that since I started going to rehearsals, I have become more "skilled" maybe even thick-skinned! Haha! Thanks to Bonni for "slapping me awake," and thanks to every sister for their support and encouragement that brought me to this point And thanks to Carlene; you are our guardian angel!
"Friendship forever" I thought it was just the words written casually in the yearbook when I graduated from primary school. I never expected that we have known each other for 20 years.
Cherish and be grateful for the opportunity to experience this journey together again through drama "It doesn't matter how long it lasts, it only matters that you once had it "

Performer’sNote
In fact, I never imagined that more than 20 years later, I would step onto the stage to perform again. From the initial rehearsal, filled with fear, worry, and a lack of confidence, to now being able to fully integrate into the performance I am truly grateful to Bonni for guiding me to achieve what I am today! What a great experience! I hope to face the second half of my life with courage, ease, and relaxation when encountering adversities in the future, drawing from the lessons learned in this performance

透過話劇的排練真係可以認識⾃⼰多啲。我有 個經常低頭向下望的
習慣。Bonni 問：「你當時在哪裏?」
這 個問句卻叫我⽤上不少個早上翻來覆去地思想，⼜係我嘅⼈⽣意
義的課題。
哈哈哈．．．．
我領悟了．．．．．
謝謝你，Bonni !
Through the rehearsal of the drama, I have truly come to know myself better I have a habit of always looking down with my head bowed Bonni asked, "Where were you?"
This one question led me to spend many mornings reflecting on it, and it has also challenged my understanding of the meaning of life
We haven't performed together for more than 20 years This rare opportunity to reunite and perform together makes us feel so happy and honored. It also brings back many wonderful memories.
We have known each other for over 20 years We trust, support, and understand each other I am grateful to have met you; it truly is fate! Thank you, Bonni, for your careful guidance and for sharing your performance experiences and insights!
Looking into the future, I hope everyone stays safe, and that we can spend more time together and cherish the present!

Clearing clouds of doubt
A radiant blue unfolds
Eleven souls together
Shaking off the past's embrace
Stepping into the drama's light
Poetic whispers rise
Transformed into white clouds
Flowing as a gentle breeze
Drifting like little boats

Carlene Lam
曾經發過 個夢，
夢裡我是⼀位年輕⺟親去做產檢。當醫⽣責備我時，我回應：
「對唔住，冇⼈教過我點樣做 個媽媽。學校冇教，屋企都冇教。」
即使腦中不停迴盪祖輩常說的：
「⼥⼈的3個階段：⼥兒、妻⼦、⺟親。」
我還是選擇繼續問Bonni在排練時常提的那 句：
「我呢世⼈嚟呢度係做咩嘅呢？」
我的回應是：
凡塵⾛ 轉，最緊要識「嘯」。
I once had a dream, In the dream, I was a young mother going for a prenatal check-up. When the doctor scolded me, I responded: "I'm sorry, no one taught me how to be a mother School didn’t teach me, and neither did my family "
Even though the words of my ancestors echoed in my mind: "The three stages of a woman: daughter, wife, mother."
I still chose to continue asking the question that Bonni often mentioned during rehearsals: "What am I doing here in this life?"
My response is:
In this fleeting world, the most important thing is to know how to "whistle "
Bonni graduated from the Hong Kong Academy of Ballet and went on to study acting at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, winning the Best Actress of the Year award for three consecutive years.
After graduating, she joined the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre and performed in a number of productions.
