《Father in the Hole》

2018年愛丁堡藝穗節參節節目​


爸爸去世,對殯儀事零concept的女兒頂硬上要處理複雜的葬體事宜。香港地莫講入土,連龕位都難搵。無錢就排公家位,一連串背景審查,最後得個吉。逼住去低端龕場買位,卻遇上炒到飛起的價位...在林林總總的土地問題、政治問題、官僚制度下,香港人真的能夠rest in peace嗎?

The father was gone, the daughter who knew nothing about traditions had to step up to take charge of the Hong Kong -style funeral. But her mind was a complete blank when being asked what her dad's favourite food was. She couldn't get a space from the public columbaria for her dad because of background checks and public policy, so had to look for private solutions. But she found this as difficult as finding a flat in daily life. Social, political problems in daily life just didn't let you go. Could we really rest in peace?

劇評 / 觀眾回饋

'‘Father in the Hole’ might be one of the sweetest, most endearing plays I have seen at the Fringe. It tries so earnestly to ingratiate you into Hong Kong funeral customs, re-enacting and explaining each ritual. You get the opportunity to make your own traditional ingots out of paper. You get a complimentary sweet in a long envelope. Its all really lovely: the crimson of the priestly dress, the brassy count of finger-cymbals.' - Edfringe Review

'
It was all quite quaint. The audience was instructed to “bow three times for the deceased” at the start of the show. This made me feel as if I was participating in the funeral rather than being a mere spectator.The whole funeral ritual was interesting to witness. There was a great moment where two priests danced in the dark – neon lights adorning their costumes – and a red lit bowl in the middle exploded with confetti.'  - Durham Theatre Review

'While dance shows, for example, are abstract and open to interpretation, your drama is very specific on the cultural practices of Hong Kong. Great show! Fabulous work!' - Philip Lindsery, Producer, USA

'Your play makes the heavy subject of death light, humorous and educational. I've learned so much about Chinese funerals and laughed out loud at your British humor.'

'Reflection of the reality.'

'It's unlike anything I've seen here. Probably the difference in cultures or that it doesn't fall into a particular genre. I really enjoyed the show.'
