All The World’s A Sea 《一切世界海》
2024-08-01 - 2024-08-04 | Singtel Waterfront Theatre at The Esplanade, 8 Raffles Ave., Singapore 039802, Singapore, Singapore, 039802, Singapore
Synopsis
Seeking anchor in a world buffeted by unrest, All The World’s A Sea presents the journeys of the uprooted and displaced — where despair and oppression sit alongside hope and resistance.
A captured nose. A body in limbo. A transplanted tongue.
Aberrant eyes. Ears lost in translation. Consciousness gone rogue.
Who am I? What am I?
Inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of Ayatana (six senses), director Kuo Jian Hong builds upon her 2018 epic I came at last to the seas (commissioned for Huayi – Chinese Festival of Arts) for a bold new reimagination. Bringing together an international team from Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Nanjing and USA, the interdisciplinary epic fuses evocative storytelling with ambitious scenographic design.
All The World’s A Sea is presented by The Theatre Practice, in collaboration with Esplanade — Theatres on the Bay, and features performers from Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, Jiangsu Performing Arts Group (Kun Opera Theatre) and Sun Son Theatre.
简介
徘徊在充满矛盾的世界里，我是苦难的旁观者，也是聚散离合的当事人
寻根，是我寻找自己的过程。
没有鼻子的士兵 移植舌头的外地人 意图越狱的黑客
充耳不闻的女子 不见了身躯的父亲 蓝眼珠的新生儿
在漂流中哼唱属于我们的歌
***
实践剧场《一切世界海》创作原型来自2018华艺节委约作品《六根不宁》。从六根的概念出发，以被迫漂泊的灵魂贯穿整部作品，在压迫、愤怒、挣扎的荒原中，找寻自我的锚位，激起型态各异但层层闪亮的浪潮。
由实践剧场及滨海艺术中心合作呈现，《一切世界海》的表演／创作团队，集结来自香港话剧团、江苏省演艺集团昆剧院、马来西亚、台湾与本地多位专业剧场工作者，透过相似实而存在差异的文化语言，共同编织表演、形体、布景、灯光、服装、音乐、影像和文本皆能平等共存的戏剧景观。

2024-04-10 20:00 - 2024-04-14 15:00 | Practice Space, 54 Waterloo Street, 187953, Singapore
The state of the garden tells you a lot about the person who owns it.

A first version was staged at Practice’s It’s Not About The Numbers series in 2021 to rave reviews, and has been brilliantly reimagined in collaboration with director Tan Shou Chen and co-writer Cheyenne Alexandria Phillips.

The Soldier & His Virtuous Wife 《都是当兵惹的祸》
2023-03-30 20:00 - 2023-04-16 22:00 | Drama Centre Theatre, National Library, Victoria Street, Singapore
A lot can happen after Happily Ever After…
One day of marriage. Ten years of separation.
Another suitor lurks in the wings.
Is true love really worth the wait?
Will the soldier ever be reunited with his virtuous wife?
The pioneers of Singapore Mandarin musicals are BACK with a highly-anticipated restaging of Lo Pei-An’s (Taiwan) The Soldier & His Virtuous Wife.
Inspired by the traditional Yuan opera Qiu Hu Flirts With His Wife, this Mandarin musical comedy combines Chinese Opera aesthetics with campy humour and musical theatre flair, deftly helmed by director Kuo Jian Hong (Lao Jiu: The Musical, If There’re Seasons…, Liao Zhai Rocks!).
Starring Joanna Dong, MengFM’s Cavin Soh and Ric Liu, and Sugie Phua, this is one show that’ll have you walking down rolling in the aisles!

Extinction Feast《鮽宴》
2022-11-10 20:00 - 2022-11-13 16:30 | Practice Space, 54 Waterloo Street, 187953, Singapore
Jeff wants to do the right thing. So does his brother. And his mother. And his sister-in-law. So an important discussion over family dinner should go smoothly… right?
Inspired by Eating Chilli Crab in the Anthropocene, Extinction Feast is a playful black comedy about Asian culture, fish consumption and our pesky conscience.
Director Ang Xiao Ting assembles an international team of collaborators to create a multidisciplinary theatrical feast combining performance, multimedia and live foley. Blending storytelling and dining, the production also features canapés by Ah Hua Kelong.
Extinction Feast is a Practice Tuckshop production, and was first staged to a sold-out run at Singapore Writers’ Festival 2021.
Jeff 想要做正确的事，他的哥哥、妈妈，还有嫂嫂当然也是。所以在家庭聚餐上进行“这个”重要的讨论，应该会很顺利的⋯⋯吧？
《鮽宴》是一部有关亚洲文化、鱼类消费和我们那些恼人良知的黑色幽默喜剧，创作灵感源自一本社会科学专书——《Eating Chilli Crab in the Anthropocene》。
由导演洪小婷领军，集结来自世界各地的创作人才，共同打造一场结合戏剧表演、多媒体影像和现场拟音的剧场“飨宴”！延续实堂在故事中融入食物的特色，这次更邀请了“阿华奎笼”为演出特别构思一系列开胃小菜。
《鮽宴》为实堂制作，在2021年于新加坡作家节举行首演，并创下场场完售的佳绩。

almost home《我以为家》
2022-09-14 20:00 - 2022-09-18 21:00 | Practice Space, 54 Waterloo Street, 187953, Singapore
If home is where the heart is,
what do you do when your heart says,
“Actually… Is it ok if I don’t want to go home?”
Kuala Lumpur-born, Singapore-based Ng Mun Poh has spent the last 18 years of her life travelling between her two “homes”. As she should.
In a monodrama equal parts heartfelt and humorous, almost home dramatises the struggle of finding her place in a home where nothing, and yet so much has changed.
A first version of the work, Daughter, was received with rave reviews as part of Practice’s It’s Not About The Numbers series in September 2021. It has since been brilliantly reimagined for a black box stage in collaboration with director Yeo Lyle and dramaturg Neo Hai Bin.
