Slow down, listen to the silence

INHABITANTS
By Teatro de los Sentidos
29 May, Sunday

Using tin and string, and an envelope, the audience was invited to walk into the performance space without ushers. How ingenious - this started our journey of negotiating with the actors about giving them permission to work with us in the performance.

The puzzle piecing of Singapore, the revelation of labyrinths, the introduction of a simple gift with clear sincerity, the gentle leading of the actors, everything was a surreal experience.

At one celebratory moment, I danced r numbers and was kissed on the cheek by a mischievous actor. Funny thing was his action didn't look out of place at all! And I no liberal too! Asians don't kissn you know...

Happily happily, the whole experince of forgetting someone and thus that person would eventually forget us... Would that result in a state of a less-of-us?

Beautiful, sensitive, moving... A piece I wouldn't want to forget
