Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre

Synopsis
In Backtrack-ing, Taoist funeral ritual ‘hell-door-breaking’ unrolls the memory lane for Terry Tsang. The all-male cast smashes the door of bygones and sets off an introspective expedition, witnessing life and death, and eventually arriving at the self. Coming full circle, one might realise the Other Shore is not elsewhere but right here and now.
