Here - A Showcase by The Finger Players

A maneater has wreaked havoc on earth since time immemorial, luring men to their deaths. However, a complicated relationship between her and a hunter soon sends them on an emotional downward spiral like a cat and mouse game across time.

Inspired by the Southeast Asian folklore of the Penanggalan, Here is part of Chong Tze Chien’s ongoing research and exploration on the intersection of traditional Southeast Asian puppetry, The Finger Players’ puppetry methodology, and the martial art Silat.

This work-in-progress showcase comprises two parts – a presentation of the story and a dialogue session between the creatives and audience after the presentation.
