Title: | On and off book: contemporary Singapore theatre’s print rhythms |
Synopsis: | Recent Singapore productions have put books prominently on stage. In An Actress Prepares (2016), Siti Khalijah Zainal reads aloud from a tattered copy of Stanislavski. In The Necessary Stage’s Civilised (2019), the audience compiles lists of civilised and uncivilised things in two circulating books; these words then become part of the actors’ script. Loo Zihan begins Catamite (2019) with the following: “I will be reading off a script. This is an acknowledgement of the licensing process that all public performances are subject to.” Loo clearly knows the words — he is “off book” — and yet he pulls his eyes back to the page. |
