Singapore Sign Language Interpretation for 8pm show on 17 January 2025.
It’s a thrill but with a lot to say about mental health and personal reflection and why people with the biggest grins might hide the biggest sadness.
— Keith Gow, Theatre First
Screaming, overwhelmed and frustrated: I just want to tear out my skin and smash my head against a wall!!!
In a society where we are constantly pushed to be more productive, skilful and self-sufficient, what does it mean to ‘just be?’. Can we grow from a place of love and trust instead of shame and comparison?
Meet Sheryl with an ‘S’. Sheryl lives in Singapore, which also begins with an ‘S’. Life hasn’t been the smoothest for Sheryl, like for us all. No problemo.
Follow Sheryl on her quest to become as resilient and as versatile as Seaweed. Enter a world of moody projections, quirky presentations, satirical ads, and a lot of the ‘weed’ from the sea.
A Judges’ Picks and Nominated for Best in Theatre at Melbourne Fringe 2023, I Am Seaweed is a multimedia theatrical show that creates space for respite in an overwhelming world.
Please note that some audience members will be seated on cushions on the floor for the duration of the performance. We advise that you dress comfortably for the show.
I Am Seaweed resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed or persistently pressured to keep striving for more, for better. It’s an entertaining and good-humoured show that asks us to look inside ourselves and question why we do everything we do and if it’s actually making us happy.
— Myron My, MyMelbourneArts
A joyous work featuring a stunning, off-the-charts-charming performance from Cheryl Ho. Bold, energised, achingly-human and super sharp
