故事簡介
自北京出生,成長於桂林,轉眼在香港十餘年的蔣婷,已然成為不僅是身分證件意義上,也是他人口中的「新香港人」。
但在漂泊異鄉的途中,超越證件意義的,不僅有來自故鄉的「特性」,也有內心認同的搖擺,更有身處動盪世界中作為秉持「藝術自由」的演員所面對的地緣政治與窮迫現實。
《終曲》自2024年首演,作為彼時回應社會事件的學校告別演出「The Last Performance」,到進入社會後的動盪新感受,帶著全新的目光與視角,邀請台灣觀眾從這一故事中共同探問:
「這是我們的未來?還是可以終止的現在?」

節目介紹英文版
Artists’ Survival amid China–Hong Kong Geopolitics
Premiered
in Hong Kong in 2024 · Returning to the Stage at the Taipei Fringe Festival
Following Acclaim
Synopsis
Born in Beijing and raised
in Guilin, Siobhan JIANG has now lived in Hong Kong for more than a decade.
Over the years, she has become a “new Hongkonger”—not only in terms of her
identity documents, but also in the eyes of those around her.
Yet along this journey of
displacement, there are things that transcend official documentation: the
traits and memories she carries from her hometown, her wavering sense of
identity, and the geopolitical pressures and financial hardship she faces as an
actor committed to the principle of “artistic freedom” in an increasingly
turbulent world.
The Last Performance premiered
in 2024 as a farewell production at the end of the artists’ studies, responding
to the social events of the time. Since then, the work has continued to evolve,
incorporating the new uncertainties and realities they have encountered after entering
professional life.
Returning with renewed
perspectives, the production invites audiences in Taiwan to consider the
following question together:
“Is this our future—or a
present that can still be brought to an end?”
Floating Boat Project
Drifting Boat Theatre is
an independent theatre-making collective founded by Xu Yingbang James and
Chelsea ZHANG, with Hong Kong as its primary creative base.
Drawing on the founders’
own experiences of migration, the company’s works often centre on people of
different identities and cultural backgrounds who find themselves displaced or
living far from home. Through approaches including documentary theatre and
devised theatre, the company creates contemporary performance works that engage
closely with social realities.
The company also regularly
organises community theatre and playback theatre activities, building
connections within Hong Kong’s migrant communities while exploring a range of
social issues arising from cross-cultural experiences.
Recent productions
include:
The Last Performance (2024), nominated for Best
Production, Best Director and Best Actress at the International Monodrama
Festival;
Foxfinder (2024), a devised theatre production examining conditions of
survival in post-2019 Hong Kong;
Floating with Hong Kong, a documentary theatre
production about the experiences of Mainland Chinese women living in a
state of displacement in Hong Kong, invited to be presented at the 2023
Hong Kong New Concept Arts Festival; and
Everywhere, written by Huang Suhuai, presented as a staged reading at the 2023
Shekou Theatre Festival in Shenzhen and inspired by the series of worker
suicides at Foxconn factories.
