Director's Note
This time I select a dozen young performers because they have the explosive power and energy unique to the youth, as well as unsophisticated naivety. I wish to take advantage of such naivety and energy to create an unprecedented form of comedy.
We all need love. Our life is in vain without love!

Jim Chim Sui-man Director
Born in Hong Kong, Jim Chim Sui-man majored in Theatre and Drama in Hong Kong. After graduation, he studied mimes under the tutelage of the famous British physical theater director David Glass. He was also invited to join a tour in Britain. Afterwards, he continuously visited the drama masters, and was successively instructed by masters in the United States, Germany, Denmark, Russia, Britain and other countries and regions. Later, he studied performance skills and accepted physical training under the tutelage of Philippe Gaulier and Monika Pagneux, both prestigious French performance trainers. The concept of “PIP”—“Pleasure, Imagination and Play” is not only his life philosophy, but also the ultimate origin of his performance and creation.
Jim Chim Sui-man is a cross-media performer, director, and screenwriter. In the past two decades, he has created more than 60 Hong Kong-style stage works on the basis of “PIP”, and presented more than 8,000 stage performances in different forms, which attract more than 1.58 million audiences.
