heaven on earth

I enjoyed panggung ART & Dramabox's ANGEL-ISM with dearest at the Drama Centre Black Box (National Library Building) yesterday.

Here's some pictures (no, I didn't take them. They're linked from Danny Yeo - the playwright's blog).

Here's what I wrote to one of the directors (Kok Heng Leun) and his reply:

Me:

今天看了《天使一性》，是我和Black Box Theatre 的第一次。看了戏，非常高兴。我非常喜欢整部戏的呈现方式，也很欣赏演员的演技和他们与观众之间的种种互动。落幕后脑里原本都是问号，但在回家的路上一直反复思考刚才所看到的，后来有了不少“领悟”。也因这样，这次看戏也不止是一次经验，反而因为有了自己的思索，戏变成了自己的一部分。真的很喜欢这种感觉。

如果可以把你的发现跟我分享，我会很开心。这就是戏剧的好玩之处。它必须由观众和创作者一起想像和参与，才形成一个完整的过程。希望以后可以在剧院多看到你。

An interview with the directors and playwright of ANGEL-ISM.

I wrote on ANGEL-ISM sometime ago, here's some further information from one of the director, Mr Kok Heng Leun's blog:

"Angels are light. But what is light? Light allows one to see, but it also exposes, the good and the bad, the beauty and the ugly, truth and deceptions, and everything in between. In this age and time, I wonder how many things, how many people, would be able to bear the scrutiny of light. And when the angels are flying too close to the ground, looking at human: their acts, their morals, their beliefs, their lies, their arrogance, their ignorance, humans playing god, humans playing devil - will the angels lose their shine? Everyday is an eternity, everyone is an angel."
