The Mariana Trench 
Shenzhen performance
 

 

In Cantonese with Chinese and English surtitles
 

The Mariana Trench premiered in 2006, was revised and restaged in 2011, followed by its third run at the Beijing Fringe Festival in 2013. In 2024, it had its fourth and fifth run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Huichang Theatre Village, in 2026 it had its sixth and seventh runs at Guangzhou and Nanjing, all earning praise from audiences. Now, it will meet the audience once again at Shenzhen !

​

The story focuses on Hong Kong's once-unique occupation “Majie” (maidservants who remained unmarried for life), reflecting the spiritual emptiness of modern people through their lives.

​

An unmarried maid living in Hong Kong in the 60s...
A frustrated young man...
A man and a woman from different eras collide in the same theatrical space, confronting choices between truth and illusion, departure and commitment. Can they find their own happiness?
As the two narratives intertwine and reflect upon each other, they reveal the profound reality of loneliness of mankind. Regardless of the time and space, everyone must confront loneliness candidly, much like living at the bottom of the sea.
