Hosted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and organized by the University Arts Centre of CUHK-Shenzhen, the 2024 Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macau University Student Drama Festival took place from March 29th to April 1st under the theme "Circle".

Students from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Southern University of Science and Technology, and University of Macau embarked on a drama journey with freedom and tenderness through stage performances and workshop experiences at CUHK-Shenzhen.

Roload, from Phantom Club of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen encourages deep reflection on art and its interaction with the mundane. Through their vision, they imagined a realm free from constraints, where societal shackles fade into oblivion.

Trapped, by the Monsoon Theater of Southern University of Science and Technology breathes life into the play, unraveling the profound weight of love. Within its narrative, love and being loved find eternal harmony and cast blessings upon life’s passionate journeys.

In The Missing Circle by CUHKJP, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, meteors whispered dreams while celestial bodies danced. Two solitary souls embark on a grand dream, portraying the perplexity and struggles of youth.

Drama Society, UMSU, of the University of Macau, in their production Flying to the Moon unveiled a hero’s journey. Once a savior, now a folk tale, it servers as a reminder that even after crossing countless rivers, one can return to the essence.

Under the same theme, each of the four universities showed ingenuity in constructing inclusive circles. Within these circles, love and freedom harmoniously intertwine. Beyond their bounds, dreams diverge, each chasing its own spring breeze. The space within the circle is already defined, while outside lies broad capacity. The whimsical journey of drama is anticipating its next chapter.
