In Source Theatre

Who has never experienced any of these feelings – anger, sorrow, love, hate, fear, desire, joy…? It is not abnormal to feel it, as it is in our nature. However, it could be out of your normal realm if you have an over abundance of each, and it becomes… poisons. The performance Poisons makes use of liquid form such as H20, chemicals and bubbles to create a theatrical landscape of human complexity imprisoned in the confinement of poisons.

Segments of Poisons

1. Prologue
A team of personnel in office attire enters and is swirled into the realm of Poisons.

2. Desires
Beneath the neatly attired shells are the unsettled and boiling desires of yearning
souls. The mess beneath the control; the chaos beneath the order…

3. Love
Memories of children enter. Face to face, breath to breath, heart to heart…
Colorful bubbles of fill the space with love.

4. Fear
Joyful moments could only last that long. Fears set in when crisis sets in, gradually
and then suddenly… They start to become passive aggressive.

5. Hate/Anger
When passive aggressive turns into full-fledged aggressiveness, they pull, push,
and fight. At one point, they are exhausted, and a hysterical laugh fills the space…

6. Sorrow
The bodies are drenched; the souls are soiled. They can hardly hold themselves
straight. They sing a song of sorrow, and then a song of prayer, hoping to seek
salvation.

7. Joy
What is the body like when it is free of burdens and when it moves in its own
natural rhythm? A joyful body.

8. Epilogue (The Singing Soul)
The bodies are emptied of poisons, and turn into singing bodies. It rings with
melodious tunes… eternally.
