EVENT DESCRIPTION

In 2020, COVID put a halt on the entire world. Normal life turned around 180 degrees: day had turned into night as we embarked in uncharted territory.

Building 60 of Tokyo’s Sunshine City is closed because of the pandemic, yet an unexpected guest turns up intent to reach the rooftop as the building’s janitor tries to stop her. Why would anyone break into this place that is out-of-bounds? What unspeakable secret lies there?

Love Out of Reach, written by mainland theatre practitioner He Yufan, was a submitted script of Project Kite. The work has been presented and enthusiastically received in public readings in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. From the earth to Pluto, from daughter to father, this is an imaginative script inviting audiences to contemplate how far love travels.

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.
