SUMMARY:Hi\, Can You Hear Me?
DESCRIPTION:The Necessary Stage presents \nHi\, Can You Hear Me? \n—————————— \nUtama\, a mysterious Tiger\, runs a bar in limbo that seems to attract an odd mix of patrons. \nGuan Yin’s life keeps ending prematurely and she seems eternally subscribed to this tragic loop of death and rebirth. \nShimizu’s memory is failing him as he grapples with the loss of his wife and tries to keep up with his AI (Artificial Intelligence) caretaker. \nSindhu is struggling to regain a semblance of a “boring” life since experiencing an earthquake over video conference that resurfaces past trauma. \nJohn tries to find some control in his otherwise uncontrollable life as a broadcast journalist but is stuck in a hotel room. \nWritten by A Yagnya and co-directed with Alvin Tan\, Hi\, Can You Hear Me? follows various characters whose normalcies have been fractured due to events and experiences beyond their control. \nHow and why do their paths cross? \nWhen everything that was going smoothly gets disrupted\, what is there left to cling to? \n—————————— \nWritten by A Yagnya \nCo-Directed by A Yagnya and Alvin Tan \nPerformed by Doppo Narita\, Rodney Oliveiro\, Sharda Harrison\, Sukania Venugopal\, and Zelda Tatiana Ng \n—————————— \nDramaturg: Sindhura Kalidas \nSet Designer: M. Nurfadhli Jasni \nMultimedia Artist: Brian Gothong Tan \nLighting Designer: Yo Shao Ann \nSound Designer: Jevon Chandra \n—————————— \nPost-show dialogues with the artists will be conducted after the 8pm performances on Friday 22 March and Saturday 30 March.

SUMMARY:Happy Indian Women
DESCRIPTION:Being a woman is tough. Being an Indian woman is even tougher. We must be independent\, but not too independent that we tarnish the family name. We must be strong enough to withstand the constant scrutiny that our bodies\, minds and personalities are subject to. We’re too dark\, too short\, too thin\, too educated\, too loud\, too much. Our friends still ask us if we speak ‘Indian’. Or worse\, they assume we are Indian just because we are a certain shade of brown.   \n  \nWritten by The Necessary Stage’s Associate Artist Sindhura Kalidas\, Happy Indian Women is a verbatim theatre production that questions the assumptions we make about the diverse South Asian diaspora in Singapore. Based on interviews with 20 women and non-binary people from various backgrounds\, the play interweaves text\, sound and multimedia to celebrate their honest and tender stories about faith\, friendship and family.

SUMMARY:Old Gaze
DESCRIPTION:For Faith (Hossan Leong) and Hope (Kumar)\, the New Year is just another day. But when an old friend shows up suddenly\, their lives are turned upside down. They find themselves embroiled with spies\, childhood trauma and GENDER PRONOUNS. \nIt’s been almost 20 years since the gang met up. Will they be able to let go of the ghosts from their past? Will they be able to identify as ELDERLY? What world is this where the GAYBOURS are banging\, the Health HOMOTION Board speaks the truth and MINISTRY OF NUCLEAR FAMILIES even exists? \nBrash\, audacious and just rollicking good fun\, Old Gaze is the third and final instalment following The Necessary Stage’s seminal LGBTQ plays Mardi Gras (2003) and Top or Bottom (2004). \nWritten and directed by Cultural Medallion recipient Haresh Sharma\, Old Gaze stars the absolutely fabulous Kumar\, Hossan Leong\, Rody Vera and Siti Khalijah Zainal\, alongside veteran actor Liow Shi Suen and newcomers Azura Farid and Medli Dorothea Loo.
