A Dialogue Of Lack/Lost 缺失的對話 2017 (2017)

“Now or never talk” is a dramatic piece presented as a “talk show”. Structured over two parts, the show’s Part One comprises oratories by and interviews of 4 grassroots characters. As a premise, each of these grassroots characters has been invited to the talk show to espouse a certain values system. Through their sharing, they engage the audience in a discourse over these values systems. A segment of the talk show has the actors playing these roles stepping out of character to interview these roles. In the show’s Part Two, the audience become part of the show and can step forward to voice their responses in a format known as “Say first, then buzz”. Using another 4 characters as a guiding structure, 4 moral dilemmas are presented for the audience members to make a stand which side of each dilemma they support, by literally standing to one side within the theatre space. After they have declared their stand, both sides will engage in a debate. The performance has multiple facets of oratory, dialogue and debate. It is also spontaneous and interactive, engaging the audience in both light-hearted and deeply provocative ways.
