Esplanade Annexe Studio
On the eve of the Physics pre-pre-pre-pre-Prelims, a group of students and their teacher are pulling an all-nighter at an ice cream cafe. In this world where schools prepare students for every possible scenario in life, the students often feel as if time is slipping through their fingers, leaving them anxious and overwhelmed.
On this night, something strange happens—they find themselves in inexplicable situations where time does not move in the usual way. As they try to unravel this mystery, each one of them is forced to confront the compromises they’ve made, their true desires and deeper purpose in life.
The first episode of The Thursday Afternoon Club, an original series where characters experience various adventures and struggles together, this performance was born from a desire to create a safe space where students can process their anxieties and struggles in dealing with studies and friendship while finding their place in life. Inspiration for this performance resulted from a year-long research phase comprising facilitated conversations with youths between the ages of 14 and 18.
