Went to catch a play with Jervis this evening at Waterloo street. This building is well hidden away in a little corner with an open-air French restaurant. The feeling i get here is the same as the one in Dempsey road. I prefer it here though...maybe cos' it's so near to all the buildings that i like. Museum, arts house, shop houses and churches. This place looks like a good hideout.
From the advertising material:
The play begins when a woman learns of the death of Karen, an ex-lover she has not seen for twenty years. Trying to decide whether to attend the memorial service, she is "visited" by Karen and they return to the private world they shared to resolve or at least try to understand their love...and the abuse, hurt and healing, loss and renewal of their relationship - with constant interruptions from a mother who never changes and girlfriends who never stay the same.
Well, it's a lesbian theme and there were three lesbian couples sitting right in front of us. It has always intrigue me on why a woman will fall for another woman. Or why would a woman wants to bind her breasts and try to act like a man in baggy jeans and oversized shirts. It's the same as how i wonder about gay relationships. The lead actress mentioned something about "being tied up during sex is something normal in an abnormal relationship"...who decides that such relationships are abnormal..society? people? government? media? Technically, it is wrong..but isn't love all about emotions..emotions should not be classified according to gender..(right i am talking cock again)
On our way home, i wondered how many kinds of abnormal relationships are there in Singapore. I wish to probe, to find out, to know and to be the emotional support..if there ever is such a need. The insane side of me understands and accept weaknesses in humans to "fall in love" into "morally wrong" relationship. The sane side simply dictates that i am bonkers. That's why i am always so flexible..sometimes, too many grey areas. This has to be unhealthy...
