Love Out of Reach: A Tale of Pandemic-Ridden Tokyo

Description

Set during the 2020 pandemic, Love Out of Reach by mainland theatre practitioner He Yufan unfolds in  Building 60 of Tokyo’s Sunshine City, which was closed during the pandemic. An unexpected visitor tries to reach the rooftop, while the janitor attempts to stop her, hinting at a mysterious secret hidden within the out-of-bounds space. Spanning vast distances and family bonds, this imaginative script invites audiences to reflect on how far love can travel during uncertain times.

Part of Hong Kong Repertory Theatre’s annual call for Chinese-language scripts called Project Kite, this show has been presented and warmly received in public readings in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

The show will be performed in Cantonese.
