STRAY GODS, SOTA STUDIO THEATRE, MAY 31, 8PM
Zasha Zahri, 27, teacher: "It was mostly musical in nature, without acting, so they had to rely solely on the musical quality. I liked the symbolism, lights and costumes. It was very non-traditional and modern compared with the typical performances we usually see."
Chan Yoke Yee, 40, media executive: "Initially, I did not know Stray Gods was by weish. When I heard it was, I had to see it because I enjoyed her music (as part of electronic duo .gif). Even though the piece was very ambiguous, it was so interesting to see traces of weish reflected – it even mixed in her Hakka culture. It was a very moving piece."
