The government has tightened anti-epidemic measures. All playgrounds, government performance venues and cinemas in Hong Kong will be closed for 14 days starting today.
Chen Ganquan, the artistic director of the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, said in an interview with the radio today (2nd) that in response to the multiple closures of the performance venues this year, the troupe has lost all money and has spent the entire year of its creation.
Chen Ganquan pointed out that the government allowed rehearsals and video recordings, but due to copyright and live audience exchanges and other factors, the performance was eventually cancelled and tickets refunded, and the staff would also be paid.
He believes that stage plays attach importance to on-site audience communication, which is very different from movies. The effect of converting to online performances is far from the same. Some industries only use online performances to perform on the Internet, which is better than nothing, and cannot actually replace live performances.
The Windmill Grass Troupe "News Flower Confession 2" was originally scheduled to perform a total of 14 performances. Due to the influence of the government performance venue, the troupe decided to open a special performance yesterday (1st) to allow more audiences to enjoy the performance. The Kwai Tsing Theater was once "forced" yesterday. burst".
