Following up on our recent interview with UK-based Singaporean Playwright Joel Tan, &ASIAN is excited to share new production images from his new play “No Particular Order,” currently showing at Theatre503 (London)!
These images make clear where the transformative power lies: the changing roles and fragments that each cast member embodies throughout the narrative. Taking place upon a starkly minimalist stage, the lighting oscillates between a transparent embrace of its performative function and chiaroscuro tableaus that centre the drama.
Alongside Joel’s thoughts on the roles we perform as civilians in society, I can’t help but imagine the echoes of Epic Theatre that must run through this production during performance… This is not a temporary illusion for escapist catharsis nor a fictional vacuum that only affects itself– No Particular Order in its entirety reminds you of its own origin, to reflect upon these arguments, to perhaps draw some conclusions about where we’re at, and questions: what role will you play for your future?
