Program Overview
Can love truly bridge a thirty-one-year gap? "31 Years," a production meticulously crafted by the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre (HKRep), emerged from the "Kite Plan" after six months of intensive development. It serves as a compelling exploration of the complexities of modern romance.
The play centers on two men who meet through a dating app. What begins as a spark of attraction is immediately challenged by a vast 31-year age difference. As their relationship progresses, disparities in their upbringing, lifestyle habits, and core values become increasingly apparent. When life stages fail to align, can this unconventional love truly overcome the barriers of reality, or is it destined to drift apart?
