About Ritz Lui
With over 10 years of experience in the theatre industry, I have had the privilege of working on diverse projects that span traditional and experimental forms. I have collaborated with various artists, educators, and community groups to bring stories to life, each project enriching my understanding of the art form.
My work in applied theatre has allowed me to engage with audiences in unique ways, fostering dialogue and reflection on social issues. I am passionate about using theatre as a tool for empowerment, creating inclusive spaces where participants can explore their voices and experiences. I believe that every theatrical experience is an opportunity to connect, reflect, and grow, both for the audience and myself.
My experience
Director
Traditional theatre, immersive theatre, site-specific
As a theatre director, I focus on innovative expressions in traditional theatre, immersive theatre, and site-specific performances. I believe that theatre is more than just a performance on stage; it is an art form that transforms the way audiences interact with the performance space. Whether in a black box theatre or unconventional venues, I strive to create new experiences that invite the audience to explore, feel, and immerse themselves in each piece.

Performer
Traditional theatre, site-specific, puppetry, street performance
As a performer, I specialize in traditional theatre, site-specific performances, and puppetry, while also embracing the spontaneity and authentic interactions found in street performances. Beyond performing, I am also a theatre maker, dedicated to crafting puppets and masks for theatrical productions, bringing each character to life on stage. For me, performance is not just about displaying techniques; it’s about creating a genuine connection with the audience in the moment. Whether on stage, in the streets, or in non-traditional spaces, I am passionate about using performance to explore limitless possibilities and tell compelling stories.
Visions
Engaging Theatre Experiences
Through innovative theatrical techniques, I bring audiences into the heart of the experience, making each performance not just a spectacle, but an interactive journey of deep participation. I hope that audiences will find their own voice on stage, becoming a part of the story and gaining reflection or inspiration.
Transforming Imagination into Expression
In my applied theatre practice and creative process, I focus on transforming imagination into tangible expressions, sparking creativity and encouraging self-discovery. Through theatre, I aim to guide participants to push their boundaries and explore themselves and the world in new ways.
Expanding the Horizons of Theatre
I continuously seek to break the traditional boundaries of theatre, exploring diverse narrative styles and experimental performances while actively collaborating with different artistic elements. My goal is to redefine the audience's perception and experience of theatre through innovation and challenge.
