Nightlife Creatures 《夜行动物》@ KLPAC, Sentul Park

“A modern Japanese comedy” – NIGHTLIFE CREATURES

From contemporary musical to most heritage comedy, klpac’s Resident Director, Kimmy Kiew will be directing a modern Japanese play written Yoichi Kobiyama. An urban comedy with over thirty characters that reflect the realities of city life – full of mystery, ridiculous situations, loneliness, humour and of course, romance.

Two road construction workers were going about their work when they suddenly heard tapping sounds from somewhere. It didn’t take them long to realise that it was in fact Morse code! The code translated to “Anyone there? Still alive!’

Out of curiosity, the two workers started searching for the source of the signal. They followed the sound until they reached a strange apartment occupied by even stranger people. First they met a mystery man, then a rude management officer, a lonely artist lady, a night club girl and many more people. It was all highly unusual.

*Performed in Mandarin with English surtitles

Dickson Chai Actress

Review :

This drama brought up a life with modern attitude. Busy life, selfish and ignorant to stranger
Busy life, work till midnight. In addition, all the people in their mind only money.Beside money, can see the people are alone when in their room.
When people felt helpless, they will choose the short route (commit suicide).
Because no one try understood and support them.
If everyone can hold the principle, one community help each other, this world will be more peace and happy.

All actor are very professional, even that this is the first show from their rehersal. Please Dont Mind me。I personally feel that the sound effect is very good, driven up the plot of drama. Especially, i feel impress about the short break show [Motor Show], it would not make the break time be bored and more entertain.
Perhaps I watch less drama show, this first time I saw such a plot[breaking time] in drama. Forgot to mention, Dickson Chai is my senior, i know him few year ago. I come to support his drama. You?
