LIV

Four people come together with the same problem: sleep. Four people volunteer for a sleep experiment to find a cure: they need to sleep in order to live. Between sobriety and hallucination lies life; between dreaming and awakening lies living; between life and Living lies LIV.

LIV is an original production conceived and directed by Nelson Chia and created by the ensemble group A GROUP OF PEOPLE (Oliver Chong, Koh Wan Ching, Timothy Nga and Edith Podesta) based on texts written by Robin Loon. This original, wistful and whimsical production invites you to witness the various imitations of life and intimations on mortality. Traversing between worlds of hyper-realities conjured by texts, sounds and images; LIV meditates on the possible pleasures of being Alive.

Commissioned by Singapore Arts Festival: Full Frontal
