Beschreibungen
<p>In Johnny Jon Jon’s plays, seemingly ordinary events are turned into hauntingly profound exchanges when the individual’s sense of self comes under scrutiny.<br/><br/>In <em>Hawa</em>, a new Muslim convert finds herself tasked with overseeing the funeral arrangements of her partner.<br/><br/>In <em>Potong</em>, a son is sent away by a mother to return to Singapore to undergo the coming-of-age rites of passage that await him: circumcision and conscription.<br/><br/>Deftly alternating between beats of humour and tension, Jon Jon reveals how these characters contend with the paradigms, manifest or otherwise, that shape their existence.</p>
