The Whisper of The Waves
Director & Physical Design: Po-Yuan CHUNG
Shinehouse Theatre brings the work with a beautiful balancing act of social issues and theatrical poetry. Text and movement dovetail in a deft, fluidly stylized production which poses a key question: if a disaster were to strike, what would you do and who could you turn to? A lonely taxi driver shares a close bond with a sensitive potted plant. A loving same-sex couple is conflicted about surrogate parenting.
A diligent woman accompanies her cat for her its last journey. Spirit mediums speak for these characters, voicing their innermost thoughts and feelings. The result is an affecting, ingenious consideration of both nature and human nature.
“The Whisper of the Waves” is an intense work that displays dedication in its making and performance, and demonstrates, yet again, the high quality of contemporary work coming from Taiwan.
—Robert Dow, The Wee Review
The work is very, very stylish and has a lovely pace and rhythm. Delivery is largely quiet but somehow that only serves to ramp up the depth and intensity.
