Room 0505.
One room. Two shadows.
He thinks he owns the world, proud and conceited.
She thinks she found love, thinking fondly of her lover.
Two people from two different worlds.
They journeyed through life, but find themselves trapped together in a room they cannot leave.
What will happen as time passes?
Room 0505 is a newly devised play that incorporates elements of Asian traditional forms in Kutiyattam and Beijing Opera and is a re-imagination of a different room from Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit. Together with co-creators, Lina Yu and Ramith Ramesh, The Substation is proud to present a work-in-progress presentation of Room 0505, which was originally scheduled to premiere at The Substation's annual SeptFest but was affected due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
