Language is a prison in this cerebral play about oppressive society.  In line with her penchant for cerebral scripts heavy on text, director Edith Podesta’s efforts at bringing Austrian writer Peter Handke’s Kaspar to life with the help of NAFA’s BA Theatre students is a valiant one, no easy feat given its absurdist, non-linear flow and often nonsensical, non-sequitur language. Loosely inspired by the story … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Kaspar by Edith Podesta and NAFA (Review)
