Synopsis

This is a conversation between Haresh Sharma and Amir Reza Koohestani, moderated by Kok Heng Leun, on how observations of everyday life and lived experience inform and shape their respective artmaking.

 

From conducting interviews to looking at everyday conversations and text messages, there is potential material for creating performances around us.

 

Through exploring and devising around familiar frictions and daily routines, both theatre makers continue to make work with emotional and political resonance.

 

This is a companion programme to Blind Runner (31 Jul – 2 Aug 2026) at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. The Studios companion programmes are an invitation to deepen engagement with the artistic works and conversations raised in the season.
