Life is filled up with responsibilities and commitments. If you won't give yourself a break, who will?
Every one is fated to be bounded by countless ties around. Living from the position of being judged unnoticeably through the gazes of the others, to feeling the pressure of being wounded by the sense of insecurity, one can hardly breathe in any fresh air of freedom. Naturally, the excruciating pain of being manipulated by the we...aknesses in mankind - greed, desire, prejudice, regret, self depreciation, fear and most contradicting of all, love - has made an escape in lives an impossible dream to achieve.
These ties will transform themselves into a suffocating mask. They become as heavy as a body of copper armor, a boulder around your neck or a box-like room with no trace of window. Such stock and chain has put your body and soul behind the iron bar until the day you bow yourself to fate and claim yourself as a loser before what your have long aspired for.
Perhaps, choosing to fight nail and teeth against fate till the moment you have exhausted your will is not any bad ideas.
Or perhaps, after years of striving, even though if you win your freedom at last, you will be lost in your own paradise and eventually fail to stand the emptiness in your soul.
Or perhaps, before you realize the ties around, you have already been assimilated. Even though how hard you struggle for a breakthrough in your life, your voice will ultimately be muted.
"How, then, shall I live?"
The wide waking question is undoubtedly provocative in many's heads. Oggy Ho and Zip Ho, The 2nd Hong Kong Theatre Libre Outstanding leading Actress, in response to the quest of "how shall we live?", have collaborated themselves as a twin pair in a devising process with the injecting element of their guest acting team. Initiated and developed, Oggy and Zip's piece is devised to surpass the boundaries of verbal speech. Through their body movement and the indispensable adoption of interactive, multi-sensory fabrics in the form of animation, perhaps there you will also be able to initiate your quest for an answer in your life.
