I Want Euthanasia

Description

Description

“A performance full of potentials with very touching moments.” Tang Shu-Wing, theatre director in Hong Kong.
“A tragic-comedy with tearful laughter, a marvelous performance.” Mr Zhau, theatre critic in Beijing.
“It can even be titled “Hong Kong” – it is a metaphor of the city’s plight.” An audience in Beijing.
“Undoubtedly one of the most awe-inspiring productions.” Miss Chan, theatre practitioner in Taipei.

A typical family in Hong Kong, a paralyzed patient, their lives go on – heads down, senseless, dragging. One day, the paralyzed patient request publically to end his life with pride. Shocked by the news, his family tries to persuade him to embrace life, stay positive and face the future. He persisted – typing on the keyboard with a chopstick in his mouth, he wrote his only wish: ‘I want Euthanasia’.

After several tours in Europe and Asia, Théatre de La Feuille are heading home to perform “I Want Euthanasia”, a moving piece of poetic and powerful physical theatre based on Tang Siu Pun’s autobiography “I Want Euthanasia”,. Their thoughtful and inspiring performance raises a universal question about the value of the freedom of choice.
