Rock as Companion and Ally: The Whispering Tale Beside The Wall
Site-Specific Immersive Theatre The Inner Études
Hundreds of million years ago somewhere in the Northern hemisphere, the earth shook violently. Ashes and smoke billowed and shot through the sky while lava snaked through the lands. When all is calm, a piece of land hard as granite came into existence. A metropolis is miraculously built upon this steep terrain—Hong Kong. These granites, dotted with black dots, continue to be a symbol of strength and endurance used in roads and buildings all over this city while silently guarding people in their daily lives.
Presented by the creative team behind the highlight programme Property Guide at Lou Kau Mansion in the 2021 Macao Arts Festival, The Inner Études is a rock-themed immersive theatre inspired by the Victoria Prison and the geological history of Hong Kong rocks. Wearing headsets, the audience ventures into the century-old prison built with granite and connects with the emotions and experiences of those imprisoned a century ago by being immersed in a collage of projections, lighting, soundscape and performance.
