Perhiasan Kaca

“Betapa indahnya, betapa mudahnya ia pecah pula”

― Tennessee Williams, Perhiasan Kaca

“How beautiful it is, how easily it can be broken”

― Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie

Berikutan pembukaan teater yang laris habis untuk ‘Musim Kembali Ke Pangkuan’ pada bulan lepas, The Actors Studio Foundation akan mempersembahkan “Perhiasan Kaca”, adaptasi Bahasa Malaysia karya klasik The Glass Menagerie oleh Tennessee Williams, terjemahan Marlenny Deenerwan dan arahan Christopher Ling (Pengarah Terbaik, BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2012 & 2023).

The Glass Menagerie merupakan salah satu karya ulung Tennessee Williams dan seterusnya memenangi Drama Amerika Terbaik (Anugerah Pengkritik Drama New York) pada tahun 1945.

Karya berbentuk semi-autobiografi ini berpusatkan keluarga tiga beranak: seorang ibu yang hidup dalam bayang-bayang masa lalu, anak perempuan pemalu yang terpaku pada hiasan haiwan kaca dan anak lelaki yang bercita-cita menjadi seorang penyair. Dalam kesempitan hidup, “perhiasan kaca” masing-masing membuka ruang untuk mereka melarikan diri daripada kepahitan realiti. Mampukah mereka membebaskan diri?

Musim Kembali Ke Pangkuan
Ditubuhkan pada tahun 2021, The Actors Studio Foundation dengan gembiranya mempersembahkan musim sulungnya yang bertajuk Kembali Ke Pangkuan, dikurasi dan diarahkan oleh Pengarah Artistik Bersekutu baru The Actors Studio, Christopher Ling, untuk menghormati hubungan 35 tahunnya dengan The Actors Studio dan Pengasas Bersama, Joe & Faridah.

Kembali Ke Pangkuan dibuka dengan teaser musim, Saccharine, diikuti dengan persembahan Perhiasan Kaca, adaptasi Bahasa Malaysia karya klasik The Glass Menagerie oleh Tennessee Williams. Musim ini bakal ditutup dengan Trilogi Bulan, menampilkan 3 karya pentas experimental Bahasa Malaysia ditulis oleh Yusof Bakar.

Following The Actors Studio Foundation’s sold out season opener, Christopher Ling (Best Director, BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2012 & 2023) is set to direct “Perhiasan Kaca”, a Bahasa Malaysia translation of Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” by Marlenny Deenerwan.

It was the very play that catapulted Williams to fame and went on to win Best American Play (New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards).

This semi-autobiographical masterpiece centres on a family of three – a mother who lives in the past, a shy daughter fixated on her glass animals and a son who dreams of becoming a poet. Though desperate for a better future, each escapes into their own personal “glass menagerie” to elude their own pain. Will they be able to break free?
