Babe

Huipeng's monologue is about a woman named Babe. She is talking to her attorney about how she shot her husband "as a result of continuous physical and mental abuse". The incident happened after he had beaten a young black boy with whom she was having an affair with. She is at a loss as to what to do and on the verge of losing her sense of reality and sanity.

Birds and Bees… Please!

Increasingly, our Youth are surrounded by sexual images, facts and distortions, news stories and sexual humour, as well as having ready to access to sexual information on the internet, not to mention chat rooms and chat lines where they can experiment with sexual interaction in the privacy of their home. But there is still little opportunity for them to make sense of it, even whilst trying to come to terms with their own physical, hormonal and emotional changes and identity.

Birds and Bees...Please? Acknowledges teenagers' interest, frustration, confusion and embarrassment over the subject of sex. It encourages students not to clamp up in shame and suppression over sexual matters, nor to let their hormones, their peers or the media dictate their choices, but rather actively and responsibly learn about sex without jumping into it impulsively.

The group's previous works have been described as "moving sculptures which are suggestive of jazz improvisation sessions". Basic Entomology explores the notion of human hunger in its various manifestations.

Blood Cages

Blood Cages is a juxtaposition of two plots set in distinctly different times-- China in the late 19th century and present day Singapore. The characters in both plots find themselves constantly trapped by family and culture and societal standard. In the end, we recognise that this bondage.. to our environment, to others, and to our own beliefs, is not exclusive to us, but part of a cycle we cannot escape from.
