French romantic comedy "Larger Than Life" to be staged in May
*************************************************************
The story revolves around Julien, a middle-aged playboy, who receives a charming female robot named Chloé as a 40th birthday gift from his friend François. Chloé becomes Julien's ideal woman after she is programmed with relevant memories and sentiments. Julien falls in love with her unexpectedly, and everything is going well until she brings up the idea of ... having a baby.
Under the direction of Tang Shu-wing, the cast of "Larger Than Life" includes the famous television actress, Mandy Wong, veteran actor Guthrie Yip and the multi-talented Joe Wong. Together, they will perform a supernatural love story. Artificial intelligence (AI) continues its rapid development. Indeed, the meanings of the interactions between humans and AI may be beyond imagination.
"Larger Than Life" (to be performed in Cantonese with English and French surtitles) is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The performances will be staged at 8pm on May 13 to 15 (Thursday to Saturday) and at 3pm on May 15 (Saturday) at the Theatre, Hong Kong City Hall.
