We were all assigned to watch Cerita Anak (Child’s Story) by Papermoon Puppet Theatre and Polyglot Theatre at Esplanade as inspiration for Ghost with Dirty Feet. We had a collective discussion on our responses to the play.
Based on our observations of Cerita Anak
We discussed:
Are we exploring a response of the Ghost with Dirty Feet?
Or are we re-iterating the story?
What is essential to be included in the performance??
We then physicalized it and created the following scenes:
Scene 1:
There is no food for the family.
We then hunt for the king fish to exchange for rice.
Scene 2:
There is an adopted child.
She is insecure and fearful of being given away.
Scene 3:
Exploring nicknames.
Name calling as a positive experience through call & response game.
