Synopsis
SAME-SAME 2.0. will be travelling to New Zealand Fringe and Adelaide Fringe 2022!
SAME-SAME 2.0 is a life-affirming online collaboration between No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability (Adelaide, Australia), Theatre Today (Singapore), and Diverse Abilities Dance Collective (Singapore). Back by popular demand, this ensemble-devised dance and theatre production celebrates friendship across multiple borders – countries, cultures, and abilities. Highlighting the experiences of disabled performers in Singapore and Australia during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the artists welcome you into their homes to explore questions such as: How can we connect online? How are we the same? How are we different? How can the arts bring us together? Come join us from your living room! Are we SAME-SAME?
“This show strips away the fourth wall to inspire us, challenge us, and offer us the confidence to continue facing these extraordinary times. It reminds us we are not alone.” – Thomas Gregory, Theatretravels.org
