Hong Kong City Hall, Central｜A heartrending play by Frenchman Florian Zeller Following his earlier play, Le Père, another story about family —— HKRep: Panasonic proudly sponsors "Le Fils"

Description

A young man troubled by adolescent awakenings struggles to find his place in the world while his parents grapple between guilt and kindness, hoping to atone for their estrangement… 
 
Each time they try to pull closer, they push each other further into the abyss of loneliness…
 
When the desire to connect only brings endless alienation, what’s the point of existence?
 
The HKRep, after the premiere and two re-runs of Le Père, brings this final instalment of Zeller’s “family trilogy” on stage. With a script imbued with passion and honesty, this play lays bare how love can be recast as a paradox in the modern family.
 
Nominated for France’s Crystal Globe Award in 2019 and made into a 2022 film, Le Fils is directed by HKRep Assistant Artistic Director Yau Ting Fai, who leads the audiences to stare point blank at this dilemma while pondering the possibility of intimacy in a seemingly barren landscape.
