2019年六月，是「六四」的三十周年，六四舞台邀請了著名編劇莊梅岩創作《5月35日》。首演5場及加開的6場門票均全部售罄，一致好評，更獲本屆舞台劇獎六大提名，包括最佳劇本！經歷了大半年的社會運動，面對過暴政與暴力，「六四」對香港人多了另一重意義，在謊言與假新聞氾濫的社會，《5月35日》為悼念亦為警世！
🧐🧐為了蒐集資料，編劇莊梅岩曾到訪內地訪問當年「難屬」，亦因此被神秘人「探訪」和「關注」，令她質疑香港的創作自由可能已經岌岌可危。
🤐🤐眼下的暴政和警暴，「廿三條立法」如箭在弦，六四舞台在香港再有生存的空間嗎？
🤬🤬當網絡上充斥假新聞，官方又不斷篡改歷史事件，究竟「六四屠城」和「反送中運動」在不久的將來會變成什麼樣的故事呢？
我們不知道答案，但只要有機會，我們仍然要演下去﹗因此當社會運動仍在激烈抗爭之際，六四舞台就馬上籌組了《5月35日》（庚子版）。
📆根據中國歷法，2020年是庚子年；翻開中國歷史，庚子年往往是浩劫之年。香港經歷多個月的社會運動，「六四」對步入庚子年的香港人有何意義？六四舞台今年誠邀著名導演陳曙曦，連同全新班底，重新創作《5月35日》 的「庚子版」。
😷😷鑑於疫情持續，政府下令關閉全港劇院，令原訂5月在香港藝術中心的舞台演出被迫取消，劇團為堅守信念，破天荒決定把這個震撼人心的六四故事以網上直播形式，於2020年六四前夕向全球人士同步免費播放（粵語演出，附中英文字幕），並於6月4日全日24小時在網上分享。其錄像版本亦將會製作成電影影片，把演出搬上大銀幕，讓更多人了解真相、追求公義。🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
June 2019 marked the 30th anniversary of the “June Fourth Incident”. Local art group Stage 64 joined hands with renowned playwright Candace Chong Mui-ngam to create May 35th. The first 5 premieres as well as the 6 additional shows were all sold out with great acclaims, followed by 6 nominations in the subsequent Hong Kong Drama Awards, including Best Script!
The social movement in the past 6 months has made Hong Kongers no strangers to tyranny and brutality, and has transcended the meaning of "June Fourth" within us. Especially when we are living in a world full of lies and fake news, the play "May 35th" is for mourning and also a warning!
🧐🧐Candance Chong Mui-ngam has visited the Mainland for screenplay research. There she met up with some interviewees, whose family members were June Fourth Massacre victims. It turned out some mysterious figures paid her a "visit" in return with "unexpected concern". She couldn't help but worrying: Is the creative freedom deprived even in Hong Kong?
🤐🤐Witnessing the escalating brutality against protestors, the eagerness of enacting Basic Law Article 23, how much longer can a play like "May 35th" be staged in Hong Kong?
🤬🤬Worse still are the tremendous fake news on the Internet and the tampering with history. Can you imagine how "June Fourth Incident" and "Anti-Extradition Bill Protest" will be interpreted in the near future?
We have no clue, but! As long as we have this opportunity to express, we will go on. Even when the protest across the city was still intense, Stage 64 started to plan for another "May 35th" , the Gengzi Edition.
📆In the Lunar calender, 2020 is called the year of the Gengzi. Historically speaking, the year of the Gengzi were always catastrophic. After months of social unrest, Stage 64 invited prominent director Chan Chu-hei, to re-create "May 35th" into Gengzi Edition with new cast and crew.
😷😷Then comes the Coronavirus pandemic and the compulsory closure of theatres by the Government. That left us no choice but to cancel the "May 35th" performance, which was originally scheduled to stage at Arts Centre in May. But what if we adhere to our beliefs? Here comes the bold decision-\-\to live stream this astonishing show, globally and for free on the night before June 4th, 2020 (Presented in Cantonese, with Chinese and English subtitles). The live version will then be shared online throughout the day on June 4th. What’s more? The performance will be filmed separately and released in cinemas. Let the truth speak for itself, justice be sought after. 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️✋

💰籌款目標💰
35萬，但50萬能讓我們做得更多
Crowding Funding Goal
HK$350,000, but we can go further if we get HK$500,000.
🆘製作一齣舞台劇的基本成本相當高，一般要靠數千張數百元的門票收入才能維持收支平衡。在疫情下失去劇院，沒有門票收入，加上題材敏感，《5月35日》要獲得商業贊助機會是「零」。因此，我們只能靠公民發揮力量，解囊相助，協助我們把舞台劇作全球網上直播及製成影片，把故事帶到更遠。
🆘A stage production costs a lot. Generally we need to sell several thousands of tickets to break-even. Considering the circumstances of coronavirus pandemic, we can no longer perform in theatres and therefore no income from box office. In addition, due to the sensitivity of the theme / topic, in spite of our best endeavours, it is impossible for May 35th (Gengzi Edition) to receive any commercial sponsorship. What we need now is everyone exert their power and generosity, elevating May 35th (Gengzi Edition) to online streaming platform and even to cinemas, bringing the story to the rest of the world.
