Take a wild ride to paradise with Singapore Theatre Company's sensational one-man play about life's impermanence, where love, ice cream, and the mysteries of death intertwine in unexpected ways.
Kutisar is dead, and lost between paradise and hell. On an existential post-mortem journey to correct mistakes of his past, Kutisar joins the feisty Meera on a madcap quest to save the critically endangered vultures that play a vital role in Parsi sky burials.
Infused with serious laughter and exquisite puppetry, this dazzling solo performance weaves the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real-life mystery of India's vanishing vultures, and is guaranteed to blow your mind and melt your heart.
Till May 26, 2024.
