BI(CARA) is a new work based on the talk Why Do We Do What We Do? by zoologist and ex-CEO of the Singapore Zoological Gardens Bernard Harrison. His controversial talk questioned the ethics of man in the ways we treat animals as meat for consumption, entertainment and commodity.
“Bicara” is the word for “talk/discuss” in Malay and Indonesian, while “cara” means “how”. BI(CARA) reflects Pink Gajah Theatre’s wish to have a conversation with you about the individual relationships we have with animals and how we are journeying alongside them in the 21st century.
This visceral physical work by perfomer Sharda Harrison questions society as much as it reflects upon and unravels human behaviour and our relationships to animals through history, myths, and examining the rituals and culture of the Orang Asli (First People).
Pink Gajah Theatre (Singapore) – BI(CARA) is happening from 21 December to 24 December 2015 at Centre 42. Tickets are priced at $22 and are available at SISTIC. For more details, please see the event page here.
