A digital theatre production with no actors or dialogue? Actress Judee Tan's directorial debut is all well-nigh a new theatre feel, exploring the human relationship of the flick medium within a new theatre paradigm where theatrical design, instead of actors, takes centerstage equally characters.

Tan, the actress-comedienne who has consistently made Singaporeans laugh as wacky correspondent Due north Korea Kim Bong Cha on news parody series The Noose and impressed audiences as a multi-faceted theatre actress, told CNA Lifestyle that she's always wants to explore something similar this.

"When Covid-19 showtime struck, there were many job opportunities geared towards actors but not for designers or production people," she said. "So in actuality, I wanted to ship in two proposals that featured both these groups respectively."

But then her father passed away in the middle of her proposal application.

"I found myself writing about him, my relationship with him, and what his death meant to me," she revealed.

She added: "And I just had plenty reserves to send in one application that featured designers as key actors of the show."

Paying tribute to these oft-overlooked behind-the-scenes champions of theatre aside, this production also examines themes surrounding broken and lost advice and the societal gaps acquired by modernistic society's rapid evolution that strength generations and social tribes autonomously.

"Covid or not, I already had a vision of how I felt the piece should be communicated," said Tan. "To facilitate the artistic blueprint process, I actually wrote a script with characters and dialogue, a so-called 'normal script', and used that as a base of operations for the designers and myself to create a visual and audible narrative."

Non only is it Tan's start time directing, it'south also her beginning fourth dimension "fully producing".

"Information technology'south a steep learning curve," she shared. "I call up the hardest for me would be trying not to be overwhelmed past all the responsibilities and people direction."

But in the finish, it's something well worth the while. And Tan wants to invite everyone to "bring together in on this journeying of creating a new expression of theatre".

"I recall the best way to explore the evolution of theatre would be to go back to what we beloved about theatre - telling the story," she said.
