Part of
The Studios: RAW
A new work-in-progress adapted from a special collage of 10 texts by Haresh Sharma, some of which have never been published or even staged.
Featuring characters who are as broken as they are illuminated, and as doomed as they are hopeful, this work is devised and developed with a strong ensemble of female performers all of whom come from exciting training backgrounds ranging from the Viewpoints Method of Actor Training to traditional Asian art forms. Together they revisit the somewhat faded landscapes of their collective memory, pass through familiar spaces both comforting and contentious, and lose their footing on grounds that seem to provide potent signs of recognition.
Directed by theatre-maker Koh Wan Ching, and designed in collaboration with Jason Ng, this piece is workshopped over an extended period, beginning in the latter half of 2016.
