Behind the Curtains - Series
人生如戲,戲如人生
Set up on temporary stages, the Chinese Street Opera is a form of entertainment for many immigrants here in Singapore since 1800s. The opera is sung in Chinese dialects. A fading tradition, it is mainly performed and watched by elderly folks.
In this series of mine, we follow through the "Behind the Curtains" backstage scenes of preparing for the show with excitement, to the fun loving moments of being part of the "family", to the anxious waiting for our designated role to play a part, and to the time when our role comes to an end which make us begin to reflect on our lives in the quiet lonely moments.
