Visual by Benny Lim

On his last day alive, a prisoner on death row seems oddly calm.

He recounts a part of his life that seems highly deluded, yet, blatantly truthful.

As he finally realizes the truth about the human condition, he walks towards his predetermined death.

Quote from Benny Lim

“I have conceptualized performances relating to the concept of postmodernism and theatre for the last 8 years and I am very interested in how the human condition has been affected the a wide range of information on a day to day basis. Diaspora covers various aspects of the human life – the belief systems, self-identities, ironies and delusions. These complexities are reflected through a simple story of a man who is living his very last day alive. He might seem naïve and simple-minded but through him, some blatant truths are uncovered.”

A story based on false realities and ironies. Audience will be brought through an emotional roller coaster ride.
