PROJEK SUITCASE 2018
ABOUT PROJEK SUITCASE
In 2003, Teater Ekamatra created Projek Suitcase, a project with a poor theatre format involving one actor and one suitcase. It is now presented as a site-specific mini-festival of monologues exploring the power of storytelling through the solitary voice. Projek Suitcase is inspired by the medicine man, selling ointments in back alleys, equipped with only his bag and many tales to convince his audience.
DIE BEFORE YOU DIE
This powerful quote has managed to find its way into many religions, beliefs, and ways of life. It is believed that the wisdom attained upon death reveals the true value of what is important and what is not. Nothing goes with you except the sum of what your life has been. Not your job, not your family, not a suitcase of your prized possessions. We invite you to Die Before You Die with us in Projek Suitcase 2018 at the Wisma Geylang Serai as we look at the contemplation of death, and dying, as an imperative part of life, and living.
Lineup (in no particular order)
FLICKERAdib Kosnan & Dalifah Shahril [SG]
"Are you sure you want to do that?" "Didn't we talk just about it?" "Don't you remember, we've been here before?" What is it like to question yourself? Your every single thought, your very single decision, your every single emotion. How much of it can you take? Can you trust yourself anymore? Did it really happen or did you just imagine it? From a small flicker, this uncertainty can grow into fear. A fear of losing yourself, bit by bit.
HITUNG
Farez Najid [SG]
The phenomenon ‘life flashes before your eyes’ occur, during a death or a near-death experience, which the deceased or nearly-deceased, rapidly sees the totality of their lives in a Single Moment. Rahman Azman. We have extracted 25-minutes of his Single Moment. 1..2..3..
MATI HIDUP KEMBALI
