An adaptation of the 2015 M1-The Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards nominee for Best Original Script, #UnicornMoment explores the important moments that shape an individual’s life.
In #UnicornMoment, Shu An questions herself on the relationships she has with the people around her and the things that give meaning to her life. She delves into her past through a series of interviews, to learn from mistakes and to find flashes of clarity and insight that swiftly disappear—or, as she terms them, “unicorn moments”.
Shu An’s search for human connection ultimately leads to the realisation that to understand the experiences and struggles of those around her, she has to accept her own experiences first. This newfound awareness becomes the key in her journey of discovery.
Presented as part of Esplanade’s Feed Your Imagination (F.Y.I) 2016, #UnicornMoment propelled students to discover the importance of self-worth and reflect on what personal identity means to them.
