Lin Kun-yiu 'Giant Debt' Stage Play @ Pencil Production

Highlights\n\n'Giant Debt' is a profound stage play reflecting on the nature of the financial world and human desire, adapted from the globally sensational FTX cryptocurrency exchange bankruptcy. This play is more than just a reenactment of a financial scam; it is a fierce critique of the contemporary 'speculative frenzy' and the pursuit of power. Through the perspectives of Jarvis and his team of Wall Street elites, the audience witnesses how a massive financial empire collapses from its peak due to external shocks like political shifts, global pandemics, and wars.\n\n## Program\n\nSpanning a decade, the story weaves through major global historical turns—from Brexit to the US-Iraq War—painting a portrait of a crumbling financial era. By delving into the struggles and downfall of Jarvis and his elite investment colleagues, the play examines how Ponzi schemes thrive on the market's hunger for miracles. How do human ideals unravel in this illusory financial game? This production is a cautionary tale about money, greed, and loss, inviting reflection from anyone interested in modern economics and the complexities of human nature.\n\n## Performers\n\nDirected and written by Lin Kun-yiu, with the professional ensemble 'Pencil Production', this play promises a high-tension theatrical experience delivered in Cantonese.\n\n## Venue & Access\n\nThe performance will take place at the brand-new East Kowloon Cultural Centre.
