  【”Let the Mirror Speak” An Ethno-drama on the French community of Hong Kong ‘Pas de deux à Hong Kong’】

Hong Kong is an open, transnational city. Of the countless overseas nationals who’ve settled here, French nationals have historically made up a large percentage. Before the pandemic, French Hong Kong residents represented the largest French community in Southeast Asia. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, French people have been making their way to live in Hong Kong. During the Japanese invasion in 1941, many sacrificed their lives for the city. What motivated them to cross the sea to this small island? What continues to drive French people of all ages and backgrounds to come build a life in Hong Kong?

【「讓鏡子說」居港法國人的人種誌戲劇《香西法蘭港》】

香港海納百川，無數海外僑民曾經或正計劃來港定居，其中法籍人士佔了不少。疫情前，居港法籍人士是東南亞地區中最大的海外法國人族群。法國人來港定居的歷史悠久，自上世紀初以來，持續不斷，日戰之時，更有人為香港捐軀，長埋異域，他們為甚麼飄洋過海來這蕞爾小島？今天香港又有甚麼吸引力，令不同年齡及背景的法國人都寄居此地？

香港劇場編導胡海輝帶領一眾年輕創作演員，藉居港法國人的視角重新審視這個土生土長的家，思考甚麼算是法式？怎樣才夠香港？當法國遇上香港又怎樣？寫成一封的法式港味情書，給每一位曾經或當下以此為家的香港人。
