HKRep: 《忘年》

About the show

Can love bridge a gap of thirty-one years? Two men meet through a dating app and are deeply drawn to each other. Yet the vast age difference of thirty-one years constantly highlights their divergent upbringings, lifestyles, and values, leading to mismatched life stages and futures. Is a heartfelt "I love you" enough to erase the years and close the distance between them? *Forgetting the Years* vividly portrays love, exposing the chasm between reality and the times, and provoking deep reflection. Produced by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre (HKRep), *Forgetting the Years* grew out of the "Kite Project," refined over six months. Playwright 林澤銘 explores with delicate strokes the possibilities and impossibilities of age-gap love. Directed by 邵美君, who transitions from acclaimed actress to director, her emotionally resonant interpretation is sure to strike a chord with audiences.
