In 2003, Teater Ekamatra created Projek Suitcase, a project with a poor theatre format involving one actor and one suitcase. It is now presented as a site-specific mini-festival of monologues exploring the power of storytelling through the solitary voice. Projek Suitcase is inspired by the medicine man, selling ointments in back alleys, equipped with only his bag and many tales to convince his audience.
Die Before You Die: this powerful quote has managed to find its way into many religions, beliefs and ways of life. It is believed that the wisdom attained upon death reveals the true value of what is important and what is not. Nothing goes with you except the sum of what your life has been. Not your job, not your family, not a suitcase of your prized possessions. We invite you to Die Before You Die with us in Projek Suitcase 2018 at the Wisma Geylang Serai as we look at the contemplation of death, and dying, as an imperative part of life, and living.
