Performances
At Home At The Zoo by Edward
Albee
directed by
Christopher Ling | 3rd-6th April
The lives of three people are changed forever as
revelations and confrontations of one sunny afternoon send them down to
surprising new paths. With shocking secrets to reveal, sharp truths to
confront, and hearts bursting with all the complexities of humanity, experience
the intensity that is true Edward Albee. Artistic Director Christopher Ling
opens theatrethreesixty’s inaugural season with a provocative classic, The
Zoo Story, paired with a brand new first act Homelife of fifty years in the
making.
Post Traumatic Shopping by Nandang
Abdul Rahman inspired by events as told by Azrina Naimuddin Not Even The
Night Has Such Gentle Hands by Desmond Sim
directed by
Christopher Ling | 10th-13th April
Confronted with situations much larger than
themselves, two individuals find uniquely different ways of carrying on despite
the sudden upheavals in their lives. And now that the dust has settled, they
are faced with the task of dealing with the choices that they made.
theatrethreesixty’s Artistic Director Christopher Ling directs the Malaysian
premiere of two monologues by Singaporean playwright Desmond Sim and Nandang
Abdul Rahman in an exploration of coping, keeping calm and carrying on.
Pack/Unpack
by Nicole Ann Thomas and
Ostella Adam | 17th-20th April
The
funeral is over and the ashes of her mother have been picked up from the
crematorium, and now Anna must decide what happens next. With no family left,
she embarks on a journey to a destination unknown, with the ashes in tow, to
find out the shape of things to come. Nicole Ann Thomas and Ostella Adam takes
us on a physical exploration of an age old story, playing on the themes of
waiting and moving on, in the six chapters of Anna’s awakening. Will she get on
the plane? Or will she remain where she is, forever stuck? And what do those
operators actually do when they put you on hold?
The Moving On Emporium
curated by Christopher Ling
and Alex Chua | 26th-27th April
(theatrethreesixty Fundraising
Gala on 26th April)
You’re
at a crossroads in your journey. You’re stopped dead in your tracks, facing an
unyielding wall and a million alternatives to choose from. You can’t just
remain where you are. It’s time to move on. Curated by Christopher Ling and
Alex Chua, theatrethreesixty presents an array of performance art pieces in a
gallery setting, centred on the idea of putting the past behind, taking action
in the present and moving on in hope for a better future.
