ART

Are you who you think you are? Or are you who your friends think you are?  

Taiwan’s Godot Theatre Company returns to Esplanade with ART, three years after its successful run at Huayi – Chinese Festival of Arts 2023! Humorous and thought-provoking, this satirical play exposes both the beauty and savagery of friendship.

Money is no object for the man who splurges on a piece of modern art. But this extravagant purchase triggers bewilderment—resentment even!—in his friend who cannot believe that anyone would even want such a thing. A mutual friend intervenes, attempting to soothe and placate, failing tragically and hilariously. The trio’s longstanding and unexpectedly fragile friendship is put to a treacherous test that challenges the strength of their bond. 

ART, by French playwright Yasmina Reza, is a woman’s keen observation on the complexities of friendship between men. The intricacies and complexities of human nature are put on stark display in this brightly brilliant and critically acclaimed play, which has won numerous awards in London and New York, making it Reza’s best-known work. 

Starring well-loved celebrities Pu Hsueh-Liang, Chu Chung Heng and Tseng Kuo Chen and directed by Godot Theatre Company's Artistic Director Liang Chi-Ming. Don’t miss your chance to catch this wildly acclaimed play filled with wit and comedy!
