LOGOS explores the theme of language through movements, sound and lighting. Landscapes are represented with the human body to suggest how we have seem to have lost contact with nature and that language seems to have a part to play in the subjugation of nature, and eventually, of ourselves, our fellow human beings. All ' recognisable' texts in the play are extracts from others, such as Lu Hsun, Martin Luther King Jr., William Shakespeare's 'Bottom' and the Vedas. 

TALK is a play about a talk show that deals with all sorts of problems we face today. Some examples ore human being's misconceptions on love, woman, family and the good life. It also covers rude Singaporeans during a cinema show who ore out to have fun at the expense of other viewers. Singaporeans who claim to have a right on other people's lives for their own pleasures.

TALK is about misguided youths and young adults who want to escape reality and end up dead. It is humorous, energetic, dark and very serious.

TALK is about talk: what will become of us when we do not talk or communicate, and yet the other question still remains - what happens to people who do talk. So how do we behave today? To talk or not to talk, that is the question.
