《身后的微光》

演员詹文倩一人分饰多角，在好几个角色之间自由切换，展示了她的可塑性。我看的那场戏，有观众一边看戏，一边掉泪；也有观众在看戏时情不自禁握着身边伴侣的手，足见演员的感染力。从2021年版工作坊形式的《身》，到如今的小剧场版本，这样的艺术发展空间绝对是剧场工作者所需要的养分。如今我们很容易看到各种大型艺术节的主流节目，而实践剧场坚持为艺术工作者提供创作空间进行实验与发展，认可小品的必要，实属难得。

This is a grounded, original, quintessentially Singaporean work that allows its performer to flower over its runtime, and leaving you with a coming-of-age story that's all too relatable, one that we all already have or eventually have to deal with as time goes on. It may still be green, but with proper care and watering, this is a work that could prove to be a modern staple of Singaporean theatre, reminding you of the beauty and pain of growing up, and the ways in which we live on and make do with the lot that we have been given, in the hopes we sow the right seeds for the next generation.

An extremely intimate work dealing with themes of grief, inter personal relationships and the clumsiness of one trying to make sense of it all… an extremely excellent program whereby the character effectively drew me into her small space (facilitated by the wonderful set, lighting design + witty, powerful prose) and exposed all her vulnerabilities.

Massive kudos to Isabella for bringing me into her small delicate world that is so relatable and colourful, all her attention to details (nuances, body language, delivery) helped to elevate this wonderful production to the current level that it is now. I enjoyed myself with this production and bravo to all once again!!!

The complexity of the storytelling made simple and elegant, carried by a very strong storyteller.

I thought this format was a great way to explore themes of grief and relationships. The space was transformed to create intimacy which furthered established this. It was an incredible feat that Isabella was able to oscillate between characters - especially as they talked to each other.

The continuous flashbacks set in a Singapore context help audiences of all ages to immerse and connect with the character and her grief. Having a single actor in a small space reduced distractions and kept our focus on the main character. Today's performance was outstanding!

对于中年人来说，他们正在面对陪伴年老长辈度过晚年的过程，需要接受他们终将离开的现实，这种情感特别令人感伤，也特别能够引起共鸣。
