"hello"
A group devised performance by Sprouts Theatre


A: I want to go back.

B: Where? Where do you want to go?

A: Where we were.

B: Where is that?

A: Don't you remember?

B: All I know is here.


When the Other Half leaves her abruptly in search of something else, she is left alone to pass the hours with only thoughts of the past, and the Half.

In a train, an unexpected meeting and connection with a stranger offers her an escape from a stagnant world of yellowing pages.

The now less-of-a-stranger builds a house, and she furnishes it. Together they reach a comfortable place.

She still thinks of her missing half sometimes, but is it wise to choose a romanticized past over a certain and comfortable present reality?

Set in an unnamed place that constantly changes, "Hello" is about meetings and partings between 3 characters, going places and going nowhere, and one person's desire to not be alone.

About Sprouts Theatre

Sprouts consists of four graduates of the Victoria Junior College's Theatre Studies and Drama programme. In devising performances as a group, Sprouts believes in the power of creative tension behind the attempt to communicate and articulate within a group.

Vanessa is currently a make-up artiste with M.A.C; Michelle is a speech and drama instructor with Acts of Life; Arika works with children using drama as a means; while Carol helps youths articulate and write creatively.

Being young and out of their minds, this is their first work as a collaborative group.

those who do want to come, do book tickets so it will be less chaotic at the door. if you think it weird to email them or whatever, just do so through me! inform me quickly! PLEASE DO COME. yes, thank you.
