At some point in life, we encounter questions from others and ourselves. We would question the continuation of life. Yet, in this world, having a child is never easy. Withered Womb was inspired by this. It was a collaborative creation by resident director Tang Ho Wa, creatvie writer Lee Wai Lok and Chung Ying's acting team based on the paly Yerma written by Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca in 1934. In a distant imaginary world, four women were facing the same pressing question: Yerma wanted to have a child regardless of her odily constraints; Fatima maintanied hope though being hurt in the war; Vimles wished to change the futre of her family with her fertility, and Aighul refused to abort any life even under life-threatening policies.

Chung Ying's three-year Young Talent Incubator Scheme had com to its second year. Besides regular training, there was the annual themed exploration to train the team's collaborative creation ability and tacit understanding. From a concept to a full script, the creatrive team spent a long tim and effort researching and had many lenthy discussions and deep contemplation.
