Waltz of The Flower by Caroline Chin 7:30 pm - 8:10 pm (40min)
A woman enters. She threads a familiar space—an empty space with nothing but a pot and a dying tree; a single leaf dangling. She speaks to her invisible audience, at times herself, as she attempts to reveal a story. She deviates, jokes, confesses, reveals, but struggles at completion. Suddenly, someone enters. He carries on his routine and waits. Nobody comes. He begins to dance, uninhibitedly, and he goes... Waltz of the Flower is inspired by Samuel Beckett’s Footfalls and Waiting for Godot, as well as Zeami Motokiyo’s The Damask Drum, touching on themes of loneliness, memories, and longing. This work was originally conceived by Caroline Chin in 2018 as a final year individual project under the Intercultural Theatre Institute.
8:10 pm - 8:30 pm 20min intermission
OEOS by Lina Yu 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm (30min)
Year 2030. The world is a slightly different place than we knew it to be. It looks and feels much the same, but runs differently. The pandemic in 2020 changed the way the world operates. Research and development are at the forefront, and technology has made many advancements. One day, a Professor is found dead, and his assistant is questioned… This piece is a continuing exploration of Room 0505, a piece that was presented at The Substation in 2020. While Room 0505 explored the human condition through the traditional to the present, OEOS is an imagination of a possible future. There will be a post-show dialogue with Caroline Chin & Lina Yu on 6 March from 9.10pm onwards.
