Where Are You? is a series of devised physical theatre productions about how we experience grief and confront death. Drawing from perspectives across a range of ethnicities, nationalities, and religions, this intercultural project attempts to contend with the reality of death and understand the universal experience of grief through its various manifestations.
Where Are You? was first conceived and staged at New York University Tisch School of the Arts in 2019, and the New York version of the show is currently in development as part of the Mabou Mines 2020/21 SUITE/Space programme. With the same title and themes, Where Are You? (Singapore) will be developed from scratch with a team of Singapore-based artists, reflecting the experiences and cultural diversity of Singapore.

Callbacks: Thursday, 24 September 2020 (2pm – 5pm)
Rehearsals: Early October 2020 to early February 2021
