"OPs OPHELIA: a FaShioN opeRa"

Artsee Networks is pleased to present OPs OPHELIA: a FaShioN opeRa, a danztheater (dance-theatre) production that combines the performance elements of fashion with music, dance and theatre, to be staged at the DBP Store Theatre from June 16th to 27th, 2004.

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 Mueller'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.
