From Wetherby Hill in Edinburgh, the power and wonder of community theater were brought back to Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, in 1998 through an impressive community theater project. This initiative, led by a group of women living in Tuen Mun, began with a question: “Why did you come to Tuen Mun?” Through dialogues with their parents and grandparents, they explored the journeys many took to Hong Kong during the times.
Twenty years have passed, and as times change, these Hong Kong mothers will reunite once again. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the mothers will lead participants in making their family traditional rice dumplings. They will also share excerpts from their performance, “On the City Train They Stand,” which will be staged at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Studio Theatre in early July, recounting their hopes and stories about this “home”—past, present, and future.
