[TEATER EKAMATRA 2020 SEASON] We’re very excited to announce two special shows to start our 2020 season! First up, Berak! Swipe right for the synopsis! . . –––– Berak by Teater Ekamatra 25 – 28 March 2020 Wed – Sat, 8pm . Venue: Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre, WILD RICE @ Funan . Adapted by Zulfadli Rashid Originally written by Chong Tze Chien (The Finger Players) Directed by Mohd Fared Janial . Performed by Aidli Alin Mosbit, Fir Rahman, Siti Hajar Abdul Gani and Siti Khalijah Zainal . Berak chronicles the aftermath of a suicide: A grandmother bargains with divine powers to release her son's soul from hell. Failing which, she brings him home; she takes over the reins of bringing up her granddaughter, while keeping her daughter-in-law at bay, saving the granddaughter all for herself. She tries to instill in her granddaughter that death is merely a joke, that there's nothing to cry about as she takes her on a mind trip towards the underworld and purgatory. These personal fantasies of the afterlife are challenged however when her granddaughter contracts a terminal illness. The never-ending days of mourning are brought to lurid 3-dimensional, high-definition life as the agonizing wait for the ultimate redemption is an imprisonment in the realm between living and non-living on earth. . Performed in Malay with English surtitles Estimated duration: 90 mins, no intermission . Tickets from $18 at SISTIC Early bird tickets available till 25 Jan 2020!
