untitled cow number one is about the journey of a widowed cow. The play, which is divided into 12 sections and cover 12 days of mourning, is strongly influenced by Hindu and Buddhist texts, images and myths. References are made to Krishna and Shiva, excerpts from the Dhammapada - The Sayings of Buddha - are read; and rituals are performed in this 30-minute play. The monodrama also features viewpoints of other characters. A friend tries to get the cow to move away from her husband's rotting body; the cow's child cires because of mother's lack of attention. In the end, the cow has an outburst, where she accuses the gods and at the same time begs them for help and direction. and with her final lines, another quotation from the Dhammapada, she finally moves on: "I want nothing from this world. And nothing from the next. I am free".

A performative meditation on bovine consciousness.

untitled women number one is emotions. Two individuals caught in emotions, moving and yet still. How do you map a journey which goes nowhere? There is permanence within change. They are personal work, yes. Each and every one of them marks my life. This particular one is close to my heart. I hope you enjoy the performance tonight. To six. From the sixteen airbass.

"As she folds the clothes, she waits for a sign; as she showers, she looks at the water in the sink, she swirls her fingers and dreams; as she peels an onion, she cries looking at the dust on the rainbow."

A rare Singaporean production; one that transcends language and gender; one that connects us all as human living at the edge of life...a return of innocence.

2 untitled women with a past. And not much of a future. We cannot even say more. Even a short synopsis warrants an RA18 rating.

Original sonic composition in relation to movement and the body, in a new collaborative exploration.

The monoperformance unfolds at the intersection of technology, genders, and sexualities. The position of the performative self within time and space has been destabilised resulting in a dynamic site which embraces transgenders and transexualities, and a new understanding of social and emotional policies. S/he gives birth to a piece of digital char siew...?

First performed at [names changed to protect the innocent] July '99 instalment.
