About

This theatre carnival is the logical continuation of the Retrospective of Singapore Plays which Theatreworks presented in November – December 1990. Instead of looking back at plays of the past, Theatre Carnival on the Hill focuses on new writing. The result is an interesting diversity – a potpourri of honesty, social concerns, sexual politics, human relationships, stories, melodrama and theatricality.

But more than a festival of new writing, it is a ‘people festival’ based on the carnival concept, designed for a fresh audience, who will be introduced to youthful, exuberant theatre and new ways of enjoying themselves. It will give the audience the choice and free will to do what they want throughout a two week duration. It is a ‘people festival’ based on mass participation without discrimination – the ‘indie’ music, the theatre, the dance and mime will be extremely raw. With this festival, we will welcome and embrace all groups who have expressed an interest in being a part of it. It is a ‘people festival’ in that we are hosting many other theatre and arts groups with different backgrounds. The carnival will allow the mainstream and the alternative to co-exist side by side. It will provide a platform for new young talents and it will see the introduction of more new faces than ever before. We have tied up with Victoria Junior College’s Theatre Studies Department and the British Council expressly to provide a stepping-out for the enthusiastic and the new. As an older company, we realise our responsibility to provide opportunities, and to find new ways of connecting with our audiences.

Bernard’s Story (15 – 26 April 1992

The play revolves around the relationship of three elderly persons who are living in an old folks’ home. There is tension within each of the three main characters, each of whom went to the home for different reasons. As the play progresses, the tension deep within them begins to seep out through their conversations. The play reaches its climax when one of the three characters reveals his sad past and dies soon after. ‘Biduk Retak’ is a play of deep emotions, realistic and set simply.

In November 1986, six young theatre enthusiasts came together to establish Teater Artistik at the Pasir Panjang Community Centre. It is now a bilingual theatre group affiliated to the NUS Theatre-in-Residence scheme. Teater Artistik’s aim is to work towards a new and fresh direction, putting up plays to suit the taste of the modern Singaporean.

Bra Sizes (15 – 26 April 1992, Music Room)
Too big, too small, too far apart, too close together. Breasts the assets, breasts the bane. Bra sizes may change over time, but a woman can never run away from the pleasures, the obsession, the pain, and the responsibility that comes with being a female. Jeannie is part of every woman – she is one woman’s insecurity and another’s best friend.

This is a play about ‘actors, and you daring people out there’.

In 1857, the European community banned the staging of street opera in Penang on the grounds that it caused social chaos. As a result, the Chinese community held a strike to protest against their entertainment being taken away. The play is based on this historical event.

Condom Boy (15 – 26 April 1992, Facade, Fort Canning Centre)
Since his childhood, Eric Khoo has been a fan of the superhero Spider-Man. He even had the chance to meet Spider-Man’s creator, Stan Lee. Eric’s own comics are often associated with some macabre content. Fans often don’t understand or don’t see the moral of his comics. His latest creation, the rubbery superhero ‘Condom Boy’, is somewhat more lighthearted. It starts with a talking condom infected by the AIDS virus – hence having saved a life – and a discarded comic book. Then along comes an innocent youth who is somehow transformed into the ‘Saviour of Mankind’, Condom Boy. This marks the beginning of a new adventure…

Boy meets Girl and falls in love in this simple story. But no – life is not really so simple. She does not want Boy. He doesn’t drive a big enough car; he only drives a Mini. She wants a man with a fast car who can give her everything she wants. He only wants her, and he will try everything to get her. In the end, they both get what they always wanted – with a little price. Just a little price.

Foul Play (18 – 19 & 24 – 25 April 1992)
A child plays with toys of all kinds in sheer innocence. As the child grows into an adult, the same playthings begin to transform into weapons of nightmares. Presented by Teater Artistik.

A relatively new band formed in late 1989, Global Chaos was invited to perform at ‘Alternative Music Scene’.

On the final night at Bugis Street, transvestite KC is getting tired of his furtive life. Mother knows, but not Father, so each time he goes home, he has to dress up properly as a man. The resentment deepens, especially since he feels his parents are to be blamed for his transvestism. His terribly closeted boyfriend, the mysterious Chuck, is unlikely to want to live together with him. Weary of a life so dishonest, his one option is to have a sex change and marry his American pen pal.

During his sex change operation, Father dies. Mother wants him to dress up as a man to perform funeral rites as the only son in a family of five daughters. KC, who is now a woman, refuses in the name of honesty. So will she or won’t she?

They have both become very different people as grownups. Why does one insist on staying instead of crossing? Does he stay simply because he is afraid to break the rules – or is there something else he is afraid of?

The Woman In A Tree On The Hill (15 – 26 April 1992, Centrestage)
When Nora’s husband tells her that their marriage is over and he’s leaving her (or rather, that she’s leaving him, because he wants to keep the house), her world crumbles around her. She climbs up into a tree in their garden to figure out where her life is going. Nora is only the latest in a long line of women who have tried to save their own lives by reaching upwards and outwards after the ground has been cut away from under their feet… it’s a line that goes back to the legendary Nu Wa and Mrs Noah, mother of all women.
