The Agent
Shouson Theatre, Hong Kong Arts Centre
30/9-30/10/2005
Presented & Produced by Zuni Icosahedron
The Agent was a new attempt in Zuni’s Social Theatre series. The director Mathias Woo, believed that the values and ideology of the managing officials of a city were reflected on the planning and architecture of that particular city. This performance took the form of a bizarre situation comedy to examine the real-estate business topic which was very close to home to the people in Hong Kong. In The Agent, we saw a couple going around town hunting for an apartment, and interspersed in the main storyline were many small episodes relating to the real-estate business in Hong Kong that brought out the various strange phenol in the housing issue of Hong Kong.
