About the Show
Ma is a poignant story of an elderly woman searches for her missing cat—an act that becomes a metaphor for her fading place in a rapidly changing Singapore. Through fragmented encounters, the play explores generational estrangement, the loss of cultural identity, and the silencing of the elderly. Through dynamic blend of music, drama and movement, this Kuo Pao Kun's piece is a powerful reflection on the cost of progress and a heartfelt call to reconnect with our roots before they disappear.
