Excavations (2018), Review
If Walls Could Speak Including Excavations, we have already had three theatrical tours in the first quarter of this year (the other two being State of Motion: Sejerah-Ku by Asian Film Archive; and Four Horse Road by The Theatre Practice), where actors play tour guides or re-enact certain scenes at various pit stops. What makes this sort of tour different from one led by a professional guide? An immediate response is that it is more immersive. But what makes it so?
