BackUOB Kay Hian proudly sponsors “Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2023”
- Hong Kong City Hall Theatre
- 08.07.2023 - 23.07.2023
Reshaping a Molière classic,
adding martial arts ingredients to a romantic farce
Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2023 is a “fusion” injecting new energy into French comic master Molière’s Les Fourberies de Scapin.
Two young leaders of rival martial arts clans pledge to marry their true loves, but because the ladies do not come from the right stock, their elders forbid both unions. Though equipped with the best fighting skills, the young men find themselves powerless in these circumstances, so they ask for help from Scapin — a servant with no kungfu training whatsoever, yet wily in his ways. Will Scapin succeed with his countless ploys, or will his 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.
