"Śūnyatā" - a theatre containing elements of Hong Kong literature and opera, presented in Cantonese
(HKPAX: Ground Search)
Opera has always been an important performance style for Westerners, and in recent years, incorporating Cantonese into opera is a brand-new attempt. Theatre Ronin, which is versed in exploring themes in Hong Kong literature, chose Hon Lai Chu's novel to create an opera theatre in Cantonese, visualising the words of her novel. Her language and sentence formation are flinty and poetic with a surreal configuration, and the opera itself has a spiritual and “larger than life” vibe, so they match well. Hon’s writing style is also the most similar to modern music among local literary works.
The Artistic Director of Theatre Ronin, Alex Tam and the composer Daniel Lo who is one of the most famous local composers in recent years, will share their ideas in adapting the novel of Hon Lai Chu into the Cantonese opera theatre, “Śūnyatā”. Famous Hong Kong opera singer Samantha Chong and performer Shirlee Tsoi will perform an excerpt of “Śūnyatā”.
Theatre Ronin introduces this performance with highly local colour to foreign theatre artists and producers, allowing Cantonese phonology to be appreciated from a “Hong Kong” perspective in the opera theatre and developed to a new level.

"A Kid Story"
"Thank you for your invitation. The theatre industry needs you."
Artist Yeung Sau Cheuk, Ricky
"I am very touched! ! Thank you all for bringing this extraordinary play and wonderful performances! !"
Poet Yam Gong
“A Kid Story” premiered in 2010, with re-runs in 2011 and 2023. Young autistic students will perform in the fourth production, and aims to once again bring the public into the world of autistic individuals and their families, allowing audiences to experience the beauty of their lives.
“The normal one” Yan, watches her autistic sister, finding both joy and sorrow from the same source. With a subtle, delicate poetic touch, she recounts heartwarming stories filled with tears behind laughter, sincere and moving without being sentimental.
The lack of social resources, bureaucratic barriers in systems, the physical and mental stress of caring for the chronically ill, balancing the demands of her job with her caregiving responsibilities at home, and the ongoing struggle to understand her sister's inner world—all these challenges pile up like an endless race for Yan. They also reflect the relentless fight for survival faced by individuals on the autism spectrum.

"Burmese Days"
"I wanted to write enormous naturalistic novels with unhappy endings, full of detailed descriptions and arresting similes... And in fact my first completed novel, Burmese Days, which I wrote when I was thirty, is rather that kind of book."

Ever since the founding of Theatre Ronin, we have been focusing on putting Hong Kong literature on theatre. This year, to mark our 16th anniversary, we bring forth our first ever foreign novel adaptation, Burmese Days by George Orwell.
Theatre Ronin explores the spiritual world of young Orwell with our unique contemporary theatrical aesthetics.

"Practice of ZEN: Director's Cut"
The Story of Swordsman from Mount Shu was written by Li Shoumin. Born in the Republic of China, he wrote about a world of Xuanhuan Wuxia, captivated millions who found themselves in troubled times.
In the 80s, on a roof webbed with fish bone antenna, a kid with his superhero blanket cape was brought to a realm of Wuxia he longed for, by a leaf.
He took in all the tangling of impermanence with resentment, lust with karma, in the martial world. With one light slash he was back, but thousands of years have passed.
Practice of ZEN brings the spirit of Wuxia in contemporary theatrical language. Not a fairytale for grownups, Wuxia is a medium to evoke thinking between the personal and the social.
Pandemic halts shows but not creativity and artistry. Theatre Ronin strives to innovate and capture moments of sincerity. We invite you to be our witness as performers relive the tale.

Theatre Ronin was invited by M+ to do a pop-up stage reading performances during the exhibition 《Ambiguously Yours》Gender in Hong Kong Popular Culture, namely 《Forget him/her/it 》.
The performance “Forget him / her / it” is an interactive improvised performance in response to the exhibition. Performers use everyday items of clothing and objects to illustrate the dual-gender character of their bodies. He/She/They walk among the exhibits and turn the exhibition space into a private room, allowing the audience to voyeuristically experience the sense of “ambiguity”.

"Bear-Men"
The performance begins from Notes on Sewing Bears. Performers transform to different “me” and go back to a white room, roar with music and dance with senseless boredom. In the myriad of image, young bodies reflect how we evolve from predicaments. The echo of life that has never stopped sounding in our solitude is heard.
