QUARTERS

PUBLISHED May 4th, 2015 04:08 am | UPDATED July 2nd, 2020 02:50 pm

‘Quarters’, is a theatrical extravaganza proudly presented by Avant Theatre, as part of SG50. This is a production that will take audiences back to 1970s Singapore, when the communal & cohesive living environment was predominant before making way for multicultural Singapore.

“Quarters’ will explore a time in post-independent Singapore’s history where despite great political and economic change, the new citizens of a young nation strive to live harmoniously with each other.

Take a peek into the experiences of these people as they live extraordinary lives in cramped spaces while they pave the way for racial harmony and tolerance through their interactions with neighbours in a busy neighbourhood.

Be mesmerised by the colourful period costumes and props, and a spectacular set reminiscent of the quarters of bygone years as you take a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Witness the birth of the Singaporean identity as the inhabitants of our quarters to learn the true meaning of friendship, love and the ties that bind us.

Be prepared for a rousing time as the cast seeks to tickle your funny bone and give you food for thought.

QUARTERS is taking place on Friday, 19 June and Saturday, 20 June from 7.30pm onwards at the Victoria Theatre.
