Sypnosis

" There were exhilarating moments where the rock music clashed beautifully with the existential angst. Together with the disco lighting by Suven Chan, they provided the requisite climaxes in a rock musical" The Straits Times Life!, 18 April 2011

In collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Desire works at the checkout counter of a supermarket. Day in and out she scans and beeps, trapped in total, utter dead-end boredom. In her imagination she is free, living many glorious lives as lover, heroine, rebel, rogue. In reality, she scans and beeps, scans and beeps in retail hell.

Desire at the Melancholic String Concert is an exploration of freedom beyond the unbending lines of power and oppression. Breaking free from tepid, gutless existence into wild unpredictability and heroic adventure. Pairing the dazzling duo Siti Khalijah and Rizman Putra and featuring the ultra-cool indie-rock band Tiramisu and the dynamic Philip Tan, this checkout girl is ready to meet the big bad crazy world!
