In my opinion, this play are motivational yet depressing. Main character Wiran shows us the will to fight againts unfair treatment and culture inequality. The character do inspire people to fight up againts government(Mahathir-Big Brother). But when u really do so you will only ended up in jail. This is what brings the citizen to not trust the government anymore. Media are afraid to speak the truth thus everyone is being keep in the dark.
In the play, there is a part where a group of performer are not allowed to perform lion dance in public indicates cultural inequality.
Lastly during the torture scene, Wiran are force to admit to his "crime" and apologize to Big Brother. I'm glad that he did not give in till the end as it shown that there are still humanity.
From this play, I felt like I can relate the story and situation till this era generation. Nowadays we are not able to speak freely or judge the government because if we do so the next thing is we will be in police station without any reason. People are now afraid to voice opinion and news media are not trust worthy anymore. It is really upsetting that our country is being rulled by people who seem educated but narrow minded. In fact, I have heard some story about where police torture and drug criminals to admit their crime*so not civilize.
Opinion on the play
The acting of each character are on point and the setting makes it feel so real. I was really impress especially with the character Wiran in the torture scene. The background and soundtrack makes the play very intense to watch. In fact it feels like a professional play and makes me wanted to watch more play.
