The sing, set in 1960s Singapore, follows a visually-impaired woman who strives to revitalize an entertainment team. It featured the pioneer shipment of ART:DIS’ performing artists training program, BEYOND DIS:PLAY.
When Ser watched the play, which had visible features like a speaker on phase providing sound information, she was stunned.
“ I was so pleased and inspired. I never thought a blind person like me could be on stage and acting in theatre, ” she said.
At that time, Ser had returned to the workplace after nearly 20 times as a stay-at-home grandmother. Since 2020, she has been a young restaurant in a lodge.
The efficiency stirred everything in her. “The curiosity I had for acting was instantly alive again, ” she said. “ I told myself, I need to understand how I can do it too, so I got my father to send an email to the producer. ”
The message was addressed to Peter Sau, ART:DIS’ mind of imaginative development in performing art. The two met, and in May this month, Ser enrolled in the second group of BEYOND DIS:PLAY, which took place on Sunday mornings.
Despite the severe pain and fatigue from her disease, which Ser continues to maintain with drugs, she felt energised and refreshed after every training program, which may last five days.
“My full Sunday was for the project, ” Ser said. “ But even though my weekdays were for work and I get quite tired, I’m still so delighted on Sundays – Sundays with ART:DIS are my special me time. ”
