An old theatre reaches its last performance night.
Two actors—A and O—find themselves sharing the stage.
They bicker,
they compete,
they create,
they wonder,
and they
wait…
and wait,
and wait.
“We exist because they exist.”
“Every play has a beginning / And an end / Life is the same.”
But will the audience ever come?
Playful yet meaningful, Waiting For Audience challenges us to rethink the bond between performers and spectators, drawing inspiration from physical theatre, clowning, absurdist humour and Chinese crosstalk.
Waiting For Audience invites us to step into the story and play a key role in completing a unique theatre experience, to join in the celebration of the power of live performance to connect what is on and off stage. Don’t miss this bold creation by Nine Years Theatre founders Nelson Chia and Mia Chee.
There will be a post-show talk with the artists after each performance.
This programme is commissioned by SIFA as part of Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2025.

一座老旧的剧院迎来了它的最后⼀夜。
两个演员，A 和 O，同时出现在舞台。
他们争吵，
他们较量，
他们创作，
他们开始思考，
然后他们
等待…
等待，
再等待。
“我们的存在，是因为他们存在。”
“每场戏都有个开始 / 也有个结束 / 生命也一样。”
可是，观众会来吗？
这部诙谐又深刻的作品融合形体剧场、小丑元素、荒诞幽默以及传统相声的灵感，挑战观众重新思考演员与观众之间的联系。
