This updated adaptation of Singaporean playwright, Jean Tay’s 2007 stage play is a poignant tribute to the disappearing heritage sites of Singapore, beautifully captured in the film’s charming and bittersweet visuals.
The film follows the story of an elderly mother battling to preserve her home and community as residents are coerced into a collective housing block sale and the ensuing conflict with her son who desires a fresh start.

Workshop
2 Sessions (2hrs each)
In this 2 day workshop, we unpack the underlying themes, characterisation, staging concepts and dramatic meanings in BOOM by helping students sensitize themselves to the play as a theatrical form/genre and the processes of theatre-making.
Through acting activities directed and facilitated by our director, we introduce a theatre practitioner’s perspective and help students access the inner thoughts of the characters and their wants and how it contributes to the dramatic trajectory in terms of plot and action, which will deepen their understanding of the play in the process.
