Why you can trust SCMP

Q. Do you think the audience base for experimental theatre has expanded in the past 10 years?

A. Not really. But, then again, we don't expect to appeal to everyone. Our audience base still consists mainly of young people and professionals in the design and advertising industries. They come to our productions to get ideas and stimulation.

Q. What was it that attracted you to architecture and then theatre?

A. I took up architecture because it is a discipline that is unlike most fields. Architecture is very pluralistic, it deals with concepts that are tangible and intangible, and it trains your sense of sensitivity. These principles also apply to theatre, so the move was quite a natural one for me.

Q. Do you see a common thread?

A. Theatre and architecture deal with the same fundamentals and constraints - time, space and resources.
