FYiP 2024: Reactions

"During the scene change between each play, the actors bring in props and sets through doors. In the dark, the audience sees shadowy figures moving about, and once everything is set up, the doors close, and the next play begins.

Perhaps the revelation of this year's FYiP lies in the act of opening and closing of doors. Perhaps, it is only when we are willing to close the door to thoroughly investigate the nature of violence, as what these actors of FYiP did, would we finally be able to move a little closer to love."

 "FYiP 2024 showcased the remarkable artistry of these performers, highlighting their innovative use of props and profound bodily expressions."

"Having had the privilege of watching and acting in plays with large sets and tailor-made costumes that highlight the plays’ time and place, I felt that the simplicity of props and sets was a breath of fresh air. There was a certain sincerity to the work and also the impressive transformation of the actors in imparting and regarding each prop with an appropriate reality that reminded me what acting can do, and how art can exist simply."
