The final touch
Two masked Cantonese opera performers are ready to take the stage. The dressing room is a treasure chest holding costumes with shimmering details and flawless makeup hues. Its secrets are elusive to the audience. In such a rich, layered setting, pleasure comes through subtraction. The air is silent, crossed by rigorous, wordless, imperceptible gestures. The coffee cup is a quiet punctuation mark, a symbol of the here and now.
