Animal Farm (Singapore International Festival of Arts)

It begins with a revolution. A group of downtrodden animals overthrows their owner seeking to build a utopian society founded on fairness and equality. However cracks soon appear when Napoleon a power-hungry and manipulative porker rises to leadership using propaganda and violence to consolidate control. The animals quickly find themselves at the mercy of totalitarian tyranny shackled by the very principles that were meant to set them free.

Based on George Orwell’s political satire Animal Farm this theatrical adaptation by The Finger Players employs stunning puppetry to illustrate themes of brutality conflict and oppression. Written and directed by award-winning theatre veteran Oliver Chong Animal Farm is a play of discordant harmony adopting a darker wittier and more visceral treatment than the novel’s allegorical approach.
