Founded in 1982, is one of the nine major professional arts companies in Hong Kong, and has established itself as a premiere experimental theatre locally, regionally and internationally. Zuni’s theatre has always stayed on the cutting edge of media technology in presenting the interactive relationship between multimedia and theatre, as well as in probing the possibilities of form and content in 'theatre space' through experimentation and exploration.

Zuni has been most inspiring in developing the aesthetics of theatre in Chinese society, with its experimental and subversive nature, and this could be seen in the interactive experiments in the narrative (or rather non-narrative), form and space in its early works. The same spirit could be found in the multimedia design in lights, images, sounds and spaces as in the attempts in the area of cross-media performances, to cross-boundary political and civil area, and to cross-region international cultural exchanges. The topics covered stretch from popular culture to social taboos, from the traditional to the contemporary.

“How does it feel to wander around cities? We walk, live, sit and sleep in the city as we see and listen. How do we interpret the city that we are living in?”

The Architecture of the City is a seminal book on urban planning and design written by an Italian architect and architectural theorist Aldo Rossi in the 1960s. He argued that architecture itself is an interpretation of the city: architecture is the carrier of people’s life, history and the cultural trajectory of a city; the city is a manifestation of “collective memory”. Rossi also investigated the history of European cities’ development. When we understand this period of history, we can understand how Hong Kong, as a westernised city, has changed as well as will change. This play is based on the theories of Rossi’s The Architecture of the City. The brand new drama is created with elements of drama, music and imaging to pursue the “collective memory” of city and us.
