A semi-movement piece, this play will question and explore the mundanity of the monotonous life that we lead. In the emptiness of living, we question: What does the silence mean? Combined with sound design, movement and poetry, Suap will add colour to what we call life.
Ahmad wants a friend.
Morning, he peeks. At night, he peeks again.
Tini too wants a friend.
Morning, she peeps. At night, she peeps again.
Zaki wants sympathy.
Morning, he seeks. At night, he seeks again.
Can there be sympathy in the Garden?
In the search of truth, we often examine the voids in our daily life which brings us to question: What does the silence mean?
