Event Description

一齣訴說生存、記憶與靜默抗爭的獨腳戲。

戰爭陰霾下的平民,如何忠於自己的本心?

⟪明日陽光燦爛⟫ 窺探日治下(1941-1945) 三年零八個月的香港,一群深水埗戰俘營外的居民,在權勢逆轉、自由走樣下默默應變、以不忘應對生活,不倚彈炮,唯憑意志。

透過含蓄內斂而詩意澎湃的張力,⟪明日陽光燦爛⟫ 重現一群尋常百姓堅守尊嚴與希望的無聲抗爭。

獨說人間事,活演古今情。這是一齣讓一段幾乎被遺忘的歷史,不只被聽見,或許更迴盪至今,那些仍在等待發聲的角落。

適逢香港重光八十週年,這齣作品以當下的眼光回望歷史,引領觀眾踏上一段從淪陷到重光的旅程。穿越時代,提醒時人:歷史承傳當下,光明長照不息。

他們不畏懼。他們不絕望。他們相信,明天會來。


In the shadows of war, how do ordinary people hold on to who they are?

Set during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong (1941–1945), It Won’t Be Long Now unveils the untold stories of those who lived just outside the Sham Shui Po Prisoner of War Camp — caught between shifting powers, redefined freedoms, and the daily demands of endurance. For three years and eight months, they adapted, resisted, and remembered — not with weapons, but with will.

Marking 80 years since Hong Kong's Liberation Day, this timely performance invites audiences to reflect on a journey from occupation to freedom — a moving reminder of how history shapes us, and how the light endures.

They are not afraid. They do not despair. And they believe in tomorrow.

Performed in Cantonese, with English and Chinese subtitles
