3. Mama Looking For Her Cat (Play) @ Pentas 2, KLPAC (19 – 21 May, 8.30 pm, 3.00 pm)
An old dialect-speaking mother has lost her only companion — a cat. She asked for help but was snubbed by her grown-up children. One night, the old lady left her house looking for her cat in a world that has left her behind — a world obsessed with progress and prosperity, which has forgotten the traditional, the old and the frail.
Mama Looking For Her Cat is a play about communication differences and the estranged relationship between a mother and her children. Written by the Late Kuo Pao Kun in 1988, the play revolves around the theme of Singapore being a multiracial, multicultural and multilingual society. Two decades later, this poignant piece remains as powerful, as relevant and as emotionally hard-hitting as ever.
Get tickets here. They are priced at RM98.
