Monstress – The Reclaiming of Medea and Medusa

Synopsis:

Can we create a community that is ready to offer support, before it's too late?

Mei, a young blind girl who has recently moved into a new neighbourhood finds solace in an unlikely friendship with Melissa, a mother struggling to protect and care for her son with high support needs. As their lives intertwine, they instinctively recognize the hidden wounds each carries, navigating a world that often silences the most vulnerable. From playwrights Jean Tay and Claire Teo, who stars with main cast Oon Shu An and Syarifuddin Sahari, under director Yvan Karlsson and choreographer Zhuo Zi Hao, this play challenges audiences to rethink justice, compassion and what it truly means to see and be seen in a fractured world.

It features embedded accessibility such as Creative Captions and Creative Narration for the neurodiverse, D/deaf, hard-of-hearing and visually-impaired. The venue is also wheelchair and guide dog-friendly.
