BackUgly truth and fabricated beauty, which is the real antidote?
Construction worker Chen San has a daughter who is mortally ill. In order to save her, he must find money. Thus Chen asked his colleague Li Poxiao to create a profile on a crowdfunding page. This online version of his “alternative daughter” becomes an internet sensation, touching the hearts of many… But is that his real daughter? Time passes in an hourglass. In this imaginary bubble, can father and daughter find real slivers of hope?
Young Shanghai playwright Huang Ruishuo’s work is deep and incisive. Fall and Flow was nurtured by Project Kite through multiple rounds of readings and revisions, as we sifted through the sand in search of the valuable contributions by creative writers today.
Text Testing Zone is a new project where HKREP provides venue and basic technical support, enabling playwrights with potential to put on new works, testing the quality of their works, and enabling further revisions and refinement in the hopes of future fully-fledged productions.
