疫情爆發,世界各地開始封城。醫生迫使政府承認疫情; _義工不分晝夜地在前線戰鬥;記者想突破封鎖逃出去;罪犯享受疫情帶來的自由;公務員反覆修改情書;歌者用音樂訴說希望。六個人在六個不同的國家,構成一幅全球疫情的圖景。以老鼠為名,觀察人類。以卡繆為名,記錄當下。

The Plague (English Version)
Presented by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Produced by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Platform: HERMES Live
Synopsis: Since the start of the pandemic, countries and regions across the globe have gradually sealed off their borders. Six people from six different countries form a collage of the world during this unprecedented pandemic: a doctor who has compelled the government to admit the deadliness of the virus, a volunteer who has worked on the front line day and night, a journalist who hoped to escape the blockade, a criminal who has had a temporary taste of freedom, a civil servant who repeatedly modifies his love letters, and a singer who spreads hope with his music. From the perspective of rats, we observe humankind; in the name of Camus, we record the contemporary world.
