Kaspar
Organised by: M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019Performed by: Edith Podesta & Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts
Synopsis:
"I want to be someone like somebody else was once."
These words echo in Kaspar's mouth, as he drowns in his estranged reality.
Acclaimed as one of "the plays of the decade", and as significant as Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, Edith Podesta directs the NAFA BA (Hons) Theatre Arts students in Peter Handke's Kaspar, where an innocent youth contends with a world intent on regulating every action and thought.
When finally Kaspar is drained of all language, he has to confront the greatest terror of his young existence: his humanity.
