Never Eat Too Much Before Rapture (Netmbr)

Never Eat Too Much Before Rapture
By Sifu Theatre Productions

SIFU Productions, a newly founded theatre production house is excited to present “Never Eat Too Much Before Rapture (or NETMBR; pronunciation: NET-TEM-BER) @ Singapore”. The 15 Minutes of Pre Show Activities + 35 Plays in 70 Minutes + 15 Minutes of Post Show Wrap-ups = 100 Minutes of Experimental Theatre Experience.

Consisting of nine actors, the ensemble attempts to perform 35 plays in 70 minutes. And no one but the audience knows which piece comes next, as the order of the play will be determined by them.

35 out of 35 of the plays are originaly written, directed, and performed by the ensemble cast; some pieces may be comedic, some may be sad, and some may even change the course of the show. All the plays will be performed from a perspective of absolute honesty; meaning there will be no suspension or disbelief, with pieces written by and for people like you and me.

Inspired by the Neo-Futurists Theatre Collective based in Chicago and New York, the NETMBR members are eager to find out if a high-tempo theatre experience like this would appeal to the local audience.

Bringing together an eclectic ensemble of young and talented local theatre practitioners: Alexis Wong, Amanda Ang, Dinesh Kumar, Freddy Tan, Grace Ng Fei Fen, Ho Lee Ching, Jen Yee, Jeremy Ooi and Ui Hua; NETMBR seeks to garner as much feedback as possible through this public preview.
