After Life

Hong Kong City Hall Theatre
13.07.2024 - 28.07.2024

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Palme d’Or winner
Revisits life while in transit to eternity

After death, one must stop briefly at a transit station en route to Heaven. Everyone must select a precious memory that the guides help revive. Looking back, some are filled with regret, others rack their brains, while several recall their loved ones. Perhaps this process is like collecting fragments of the past and retracing the path of life?

In 2021, award-winning UK playwright Jack Thorne adapted renowned Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda’s classic After Life for the stage by London’s National Theatre. Fong Chun Kit and Kwok Wing Hong collaborate again after the success of Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2023, wielding their stage magic, going through life and death with the audience as they revisit a treasure trove of memories identifying what is truly important.
