BackPowerful women form a Christmas Special Force
What makes them strong yet gentle?
A group of valiant women gather at boot camp. Are they training for an upcoming tournament? They climb rocks and rope, enduring tremendous physical challenges, but for what? They hold fast to their convictions, overcoming challenge after challenge, but what motivates their passion? In the face of a mission impossible, these women travel to the ends of the earth in search of those most in need of Christmas gifts. Let’s see how this special task force uses the gentle to overcome the strong. Let’s uncover the tender secrets of their lives.
Before the Christmas season, HKRep Artistic Director Poon Wai Sum pens a brand-new script The Absolute Task specifically to highlight the company’s actresses. The Special Force will deliver unusual Christmas presents to the audience, at the same time inviting us all to look deep into our hearts.
