PHOENIXATION PRODUCTIONS , Phoenixation Productions, Hong Kong’s newest English-language theatre company, is a non-
profit performance group that relies totally on community donations and sponsorships. The
company derives its name from the phoenix, the mythical bird representing the birth of
something beautiful from nothing.
Formed in early 2006, Phoenixation Productions is the brainchild of Justin Gaurav Murgai, the
group’s artistic director. An experienced scenographer, Justin has been involved in theatre
since a very young age and started the group to address the lack of English-language
community performances in Hong Kong.
In the spirit of the group, the first production, Fairytale Soup, was originally conceived from a
random idea of calling anyone interested to join a community theatre effort. The goal was to
draw together a diverse group of people from different backgrounds, nationalities
(expatriate and local) in an open and experimental environment.
Within two days, a group of four people met at the HK Fringe Club and booked the venue
even before having a script or a full cast and crew! A week later, a group, which would
eventually comprise 28 people with experience ranging from a few years to a few decades,
had been organized and the production was born!
Phoenixation Productions plans to host productions and workshops throughout the year
offering the general community an opportunity to participate and be touched by theatre.
