"This Storm Is You"
We invite you to step into the story of Jasper, whose fate has already been decided by an omniscient narrator. Guided by a voice that will narrate and prompt, you are a character participating in the story of Jasper, where every choice you make is a choice of consequence for Jasper. Based on Dylan Randall Wong’s This Storm Is You, performed by theatre practitioners Epiphany and accompanied by live music from students of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music – NUS.
"Earthrise"
Fast-forward to a future where one can embark on a grand tour of the world before exiting into space in this experience of a lifetime. Listen to the recordings of an elderly woman who has spent her entire life savings on this one-way trip to the moon, and immerse yourself in this alternate reality where euthanasia comes in the form of a luxurious slow cruise into space. Quitting life has never been so atmospheric. Based on Li Huijia’s Earthrise, first presented at #BuySingLit by Epigram Books, supported by the National Arts Council.
