Hundreds of healthcare professionals gathered at a sit-in in Hong Kong, calling for the government to respond to protesters' demands—including that Hong Kong's lawmakers be directly elected and police brutality investigated.
In this Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019 photo, members of a theater troupe raise their hands to symbolize the five demands of pro-democracy protesters after a performance of Les Miserables in at an outdoor event space in Hong Kong. A Hong Kong theater troupe is making audiences weep by touring a stirring production of 'Les Miserables.
Audience members said images from the protests flashed through their minds as they soaked up the free outdoor performance on Tuesday night. The amateur troupe, dressed in black, which has become the color of protest in Hong Kong, is made up of volunteers who responded to an online appeal for singers and musicians.
With no costumes and minimalist lighting, the show lacks the big-ticket stagecraft of Hollywood, Broadway and London West End cousins but packs a powerful emotional punch in the febrile atmosphere of anti-government protest in Hong Kong.
