Established in 1998, On & On Theatre Workshop is a professional theatre organisation supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. The company established the Cattle Depot Theatre at Cattle Depot Artist Village, making it the first public performance venue independently run by a local theatre company. On & On focuses on pioneering exploration and independent creation with innovative and contemporary perspectives. In recent years, the company launched its “Contemporary Writing for Theatre” to explore new possibilities. In 2022, it established “From Stage to Reality” to examine the relationship between theatre and reality. Last year, a three-year “Table To-gather” was initiated, bringing together emerging artists to cultivate diverse dialogues and creations.
Combining verbal explanation, performance excerpts and video screening, this presentation introduces On & On’s artistic vision and its representative programmes—“Contemporary Writing for Theatre” and “From Stage to Reality”—introducing the potential for production and touring. Flowing Warblers is an original piece penned by On & On artistic director Chan Ping-chiu inspired by European new writing. Having received its premiere in June, the work draws on Hong Kong’s recent emigration wave, chronicling the decisions of four families through a multi-threaded narrative, reflecting the Zeitgeist with an epic perspective and minimalist aesthetics. With Love, Medea’s BoysWith Love, Medea’s Boys co-directed by Miu Law and Sham Chung-tat features a cast of child and professional actors. This project reimagines the Greek tragedy Medea through the eyes of the murdered children, exploring themes of their autonomy and destiny. This work exemplifies the creators' approach of reinterpreting classics with non-professional actors and sonic experimentation.
