Synopsis

Three friends, a monkey, giraffe and hippo come across a mysterious object that turns out to be a classmate they have never “seen”. What does it mean to not be seen and to remain “invisible”?

 

The Invisible Pangolin is an interactive theatre piece that seeks to explore friendships; being seen; what it means to say “no” and giving space.

 

This showcase will consist of a performance and a facilitated discussion with the artists.

 

Co-producers: Lynn Chia and Dr Jaisilan Sathiasilan

Director: Stanley Seah

Playwright: Dr Jaisilan Sathiasilan

Cast: Cheryl Tan Yun Xin, Val Teh, Shaik Nazray, Tejas Hirah
