REFRAME THEATRE

Ka-yan and Yin-Hei, a physical therapist and an insurance professional respectively, face the city's various pains due to their jobs. After three years of dating and cohabiting in Kowloon Bay, the pandemic forces them into close proximity, prompting them to reflect on an unclear future. One day, Ka-yan dreams of an elderly man who says, 'What you fear is not me, but aging.' Without discussing a breakup, she leaves Kowloon Bay to follow Hayden, whom she just met, to attend the Summer Sonic music festival in Osaka, Japan. Yet, leaving Hong Kong makes her yearn even more for the city and for Yin-Hei.

An immersive theatre production adapted from the novel "Hell Post Office," 

​

This is the first part of the story, where postman Nan Men-lang will lead the audience between the realms of yin and yang through three intertwined stories. With headphones on, you will walk along the path and listen to three instances of entanglement and regret, or perhaps hope and love—a journey shared by the living and the deceased.

What begins as a routine online business meeting among four men gradually unearths long-buried bloody secrets. Suddenly, blood-stained packages, ropes, and strange occurrences emerge. Do vengeful spirits really exist? How will the four men unravel the deep-seated hatred of a woman? Ultimately, will they be left with the dilemma of murder or suicide?

She tried to find the cold air to heal the inner trauma in the unfamiliar fields and land.

Is there anyone who, in his youth, already reminisce about the days not yet lived? Among the antiquated buildings in Wan Chai, one home built in the last century escaped the inevitable destiny of being demolished while a hotel becomes the subject of ghost-lore. The home bought by the grandmother used to be glitzy with visitors coming and going. The daughter-in-law promised to continue the home’s vitality. But the grandmother prophesised “my” eventual passing in this home. People, just like homes, will be forgotten eventually just like the unrecorded last words of the abandoned souls. These lonely presences, one after another, continue to be overlooked by history.

A cat with a hole says that when things fall into a black hole, they only transform, not disappear. T craves for reuniting with Aries and the OO inhabitants, embarking on a two-hundred-year journey across the cosmos to the other side of the black hole.

Two hundred years pass, and Planet OO becomes Planet QQ. T excitedly sets off for QQ, while Scorpio chooses to avoid her transformed brother.

When T arrives on QQ, everything is not as expected. QQ appears quite similar to OO, yet T feels completely out of place.

T reunites with Aries, but she has forgotten everything that happened on OO and does not recognize T, having married an astronaut instead…

In prison, time is at once transitory and eternal….resurfacing as memories for the future. In the 1980s, two women were imprisoned in Victoria Prison, where they experienced an unexpected romance in confinement. Their growing affections for each other were interrupted as one was released while the other wrote a love poem of longing on her bed board. When released from prison, she discovered that her lover had already married. She suppressed her mishmash of feelings and started a family as well. Approaching 1997, she did not want to live in a bigger prison. The decision to immigrate prompted a final rendezvous and conversation in which deep feelings were cast aside but never forgotten.

But they can’t use conditioners and lotions in order not to be contaminated by radioactivity elements. Apart from these, nothing is not fine for living there.

It’s an immersive theatre inside a Hong Kong heritage which is also a mini cultural cluster. Two characters: Conscious 1 & Conscious 2 speak about our conscious state. And then audience are free to wander and discover inside the building. Audience may then find the story behind: Ben and Christina met at Fringe Club in 1984. But Christina wanted to continue her career as a performer in London so they broke up.

''Those people, that crowd of people, moving to different directions, are like cells. They, like us, if only living in a giant body, then the pain I am used to is only temporary, not worth mentioning. I feel this after having been to a bookstore in Tsim Sha Tsui. At that moment, I just stared at the crowd who was looking at the Christmas decorations." One day, she suddenly said to me. Before that, she stared at me for ten seconds. I am just wondering what kind of spirit is living in this girl's body?
