Cantonese opera, a traditional art form in Hong Kong, has long been a platform for social commentary and satire. The recent production of "Trump, The Twins President" is the latest example of this tradition, using humor and irony to critique current events.
Written by Edward Li, the show features elaborate costumes and performances that mock US President Donald Trump's appearance and mannerisms. One notable scene in the production depicts a water gun fight between Trump and his double, representing a satirical take on international relations reminiscent of Cantonese opera's long history of using humor to comment on politics.
The show's use of actual event photos as backdrops adds to its satirical effect. The production has been well-received by audiences, who appreciate the creative way it tackles current events.
