Occupation
(A commission of the Singapore Arts Festival 2002)
An old woman's recollection of romance under the Japanese Occupation of Singapore causes her young interviewer to re-evaluate life, memory, history and subjectivity. Seven characters, one actress. Lush music, stunning visuals, and a magically metamorphosing set.
"This was a triumph of a production."
- The Straits Times
"Sulaiman's script is lyrical, nuanced and highly literate... The one-woman performance by the remarkable Claire Wong ... nothing short of astounds."
- The Arts Magazine
"Occupation is a gem in the history of the theatre."
- Today
