OPs OPHELIA: a FaShioN opeRa
Artsee Networks is pleased to present OPs OPHELIA: a FaShioN opeRa, a tanztheater (dance-theatre) production that combines the performance elements of fashion with music, dance and theatre, to be staged at the DBP Stor Theater from June 16th to 27th.

Conceived, directed and co-produced by Rohaizad Suaidi who lectures theatre fulltime at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), the performance is a celebration of women and the roles they play in society.

OPs OPHELIA takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet,” pre-Raphaelite paintings of Ophelia, German writer Heiner Müller’s “The Hamletmachine,” and the book “Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls” by clinical psychologist Dr. Mary Pipher.

This production aims to theatrically present the struggles and challenges experienced by Malaysian women of different age groups, social classes, spiritual backgrounds and sexual identities in their journey through the male-dominated cultural landscape to find their true selves.

We would be grateful if you could assist us in our efforts though publicity or sponsorship. Your efforts would help us in a big way in reaching as many Malaysians as possible.

We thank you in advance and should you have any queries at all please do not hesitate to contact us or visit us at the http://www.artsee.net/ophelia
