This piece was a site-specific movement-based performance that was inspired by the space in Yelo House Gallery. The gallery is a former warehouse by the canal in the heart of Bangkok. The industrial structure of the warehouse was an integral part of the piece. The space was divided into four glass rooms. The audience could choose to focus one room or see all the flow as a whole big picture together because all the actions were happening at the same time.
The different levels of the rooms showed the hierarchy of the social structure and the absolute power of one group of people. In this system within this play, we hoped that there would be one who was brave enough to rise up to another level to make changes in this small society. My role was a girl in one room sleeping most of the time, not knowing what was happening outside. I could not see what was going on unless someone walked into my room. Finally, my character realized that she just had to step outside that room, to free by herself, and make a change.
