Mother Doesn't Get It /

22 May 2004 The Substation Guinness Theatre
This newly developed piece opens up questions about truth and falsehood, reality and representation, exposing the fallibility of such dichotomies. Presented in a period when the country is facing economic crisis and life-threatening epidemics, this work is affirmative of life. It depicts a story of a mother, who arrived at the life she did not choose, married with children eager to leave her and a husband who has forgotten how to love. It is a searing monologue sewn with poetry and images surrounding a life about nothing, you might find this story terribly familiar - this could be about your mother. A couple of self-delusions and a broken heart.

Artist involved - Benny Lim / Cyril Wong / Amos Tang
