Donald Trump can already seem larger than life. But what if there were two of him?

From Apr. 12 to 14, audiences in Hong Kong will get a chance to find out. In the city's historic Sunbeam Theater, the U.S president—or rather a loose portrayal of him—will step into the colorful world that is Cantonese opera.
