5 : 4 : 3 : 2 : 1

5 : 4 : 3 : 2 : 1 is a colourful celebration of cultures and identities. From a Bangsawan tale set on the shores of Terengganu to an ancient Persian dance questioning class and gender, a time-honoured Korean folklore to two contemporary works, this upcoming showcase by the third batch of TUTAS Conservatory of Performing Arts students is its most diverse yet.

Staged as part of the students’ Production Practicum module, these four plays and one dance work are a perfect reflection of the melting pot of talents TUTAS boasts.

Apart from the show 5 : 4 : 3 : 2 : 1, members of the public are also invited to join the TUTAS Mini Theatre Festival on 10 December 2022 which promises an afternoon of fun-filled and educational theatre activities, free of charge. An invaluable chance to learn more about TUTAS as well as experience theatre in bite sizes, the programme includes Speak Up! workshop, Theatre Games Challenge workshop, Asian Youth Theatre Festival Sharing and A Life in Film talk. Space is limited, register via https://forms.gle/45LamwTqmBe6Uq5z9.

Dollhouse

Baba Karam Dance
Directed by Abgharyan Afooshteh Reyhaneh
Choreographed by Serena Sok Qi Ying
One of the most well-known dance forms from 19th Century Persia (now modern-day Iran), Baba Karam is unique as it mimics the rough and tough working class men of Iran through movement and attire. Baba means ‘man’ and ‘Karam’ (slang for ‘Chah Karam’) means ‘I am at your service’ in the Persian language.
Cast: Serena Sok Qi Ying, Calista Vann Kay, Jane Tee Le Qian and Evelynn Chua

The Tale of The Leatherback and The Three Warriors
Written, Choreographed and Directed by Toh Wei Keith
In this mini Bangsawan play, three brave warriors welcome a leatherback turtle to shore so that it can lay its eggs.

Consumed by anger, the warrior engages in a brawl with the others, only to realise his mistakes after he is defeated.
Cast: Ang Chin Keong, Lim Yi Lin and Adhikananda Kevin Tandiono
