PQ2023
Student Exhibition
(Hong Kong)

Long-Night was a graduation show of Dorothy You, planned to be performed in the Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts on 18 Feb, 2022. However, it was sadly stopped by the pandemic.

The story of Long-Night describes a tragic realism story of a woman’s life after falling in love with a pickup artist. Her husband's gaslighting shattered her life and drove her crazy. Finally, she killed the man and was found guilty in court.

We hoped to offer a performance that blurs the boundary between music and stage reading. During the performance, the chamber music will not only be background music as it might be used in other drama productions, but the word contents will also interact with the music in our expectations. A blindfold with a half-light transmission will be provided to strengthen the hearing sense of the audience and reflect on the story.

長夜是Dorothy的畢業作品，原本計劃於2022年2月18日在香港演藝學院實驗劇場上演，但因疫情遺憾停止。故事講述了一個可悲的女人愛上了擅長精神控制的男人，並在最終被逼至精神崩潰殺死丈夫的過程。

製作團隊希望在演出中模糊「音樂」和「讀劇」的邊距。在演出過程中，現場音樂不止是純粹的背景音樂，更會與演員的台詞進行互動。同時，我們還計劃為觀眾提供半透明的眼罩去強化觀眾的聽覺體驗。
