Little Mournings

A new day, a new light.

A maker goes about fixing theatre objects meant for forever archival, every object a glint of his self and of time. Life finds its way through his hands into these objects and back into him again, and little mournings come on like waves gentle, subdued, but never crushing. His time in the workshop is marked by the sounds of drills starting up, of sandpaper smoothening rough edges, of mallet against surfaces, of bird calls outside the window, of wind, of rain.

As he counts down to the last of the objects, the maker wonders – if what he’s doing is easing the way for dead things to come back to life, or if he never had a part to play.

This performance is created in response to the puppet developed by Sim Xin Feng, during The Maker’s Lab 2020 cycle.
