香港自七十年代經濟起飛，由當天被稱為文化沙漠，到今天花在文化藝術的開支在世界城市中數一數二，文化藝術到底是否真的落地生根，我們是否真的需要藝術？我們又需要怎樣的藝術？
 

西九文化區的出現屢經波折，當初驚傳由一個地產財團獨力鯨吞，轉而給三大財團壟斷，輾轉而成今天的西九管理局；多番重金禮聘外籍過客主事，但是換了又換，最後還是交給政務官執掌；場地建設方面，最初以君臨之勢開出巨額支票，表示將有十多座表演場地，可是資金有限，場館數量拾級而下，據說肯定會建成的場館現在屈指可數。
 

這段充滿戲劇性的歷史，今天不少人早已淡忘，因此一條褲決定以西九文化藝術區的前世今生作主軸進行全新創作，仔細翻查這段歷史，搜羅引證不同檔案，走訪相關人士，企圖叩問：「藝術在香港到底有何作為？」
 

Nowadays, Hong Kong is one of the most affluent cities in the world. Since the 70s we have evolved from cultural desert into one of the cities which has the biggest expenditure in art and culture. But has art really taken root in Hong Kong. Do we need art? What kind of art do we need?
 

West Kowloon Cultural District was born out of a dramatic past. In the beginning the Hong Kong government would like to have just one real estate developer to take up the whole area. Later three major conglomerates were formed to engage in fierce competition for this ludicrous investment. Due to ferocious public pressure, all the proposals were abandoned, and the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority was established.
 

Before this part of the history is completely forgotten, we endeaver to start a new documentary theatre work, based on the intricating course of development of the West Kowloon Cultural Development. Archival materials will be consulted, and interviews will be made, just with a wish to get an answer of the question, “What is the point of doing art in Hong Kong?
