2012-13 | Who Killed the Elephant 誰殺了大象

#text based #new writing #Hong Kong

Who Killed the Elephant (2012) toured Hong Kong, Taipei, mainland China (awarded “Performance of the Year 2012” by Guling St. Theatre, Taipei). It was invited for an English and also a Mandarin remount in Cardiff and Taipei respectively. It attempts to rethink such concepts as discipline, mass, identity, state surveillance and development in relations to the colonial past and (neo-)colonial present of Hong Kong. The work draws inspirations from an essay by George Orwell, Shooting an Elephant (1936) about a British colonial policeman in Burma.
