Collector of Stories
Direction, Script, Producer
Created under Zip Zap Zoom Collective
March 2023, Esplanade Singapore
A site-specific object theatre performance presented during Esplanade’s annual children’s festival, March On!
The Collector travels from place to place, his signature horn can be heard from blocks away, and people rush to him with their old unwanted items and give them away.
The Collector takes them in and has done this for many years. What keeps him going are the stories these items hold. Stories that can be shared and retold.
Come listen to the Collector as he retells these stories using familiar items, and even share yours through a participatory activity.
