The Spoon

HKRep Black Box (8/F Sheung Wan Civic Centre)
04.10.2024 - 18.10.2024

Feigning death is the only way to live, only a spoon is left at tether’s end

A graphic designer burdened with debt has no other recourse but to become a hitman. His client leaves him with only a spoon, and his target is his long-lost university classmate Wing. One needs money, the other wants to remain alive, so the two decide to “be creative” with a single spoon!

The Spoon uses black humour to chronicle a sad tale about the average working man, delving into contemporary urbanites’ existential state of being. This production premiered in a 2023 sold-out run in the HKRep Black Box, with theatregoers responding with non-stop laughter. This season we bring an even more refined production, finding resonance with our audience again.

^{“The tension throughout The Spoon isn’t entrenched in such plotlines as ‘assassination’ or ‘feigning death’ but in the sharp curves and steep inclines between mollifying and uncovering the absurd.”}

^{^{— Cheng Lok Hei, IATC (HK)}}
