Lumenis Theatre Company in association with The Arts House, in Conjunction with the Singapore Writers Festival presented, in 2013,  a reading of Nocturnal Wanderer, a play by Gao Xingjian ( 高行健), the first Chinese recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

 

A staged reading of Nobel Prize winning author Gao Xingjian’s Nocturnal Wanderer (Yeyoushen, 《夜遊 神》), the play is a fascinating tragicomedy of brilliant dark humour and sublime surrealism about dreaming, love and the meaning of life. Through his nocturnal wanderings in his dreams, the central character, Sleepwalker, meets some very unusual people and strange things start to happen. Because anything can happen, in dreams. Performed in Chinese with English subtitles.
