Bride and Prejudice (work in progress) (2024)

Synopsis:
Follow the script, play the part, and just smile - it's a role where your heart's been cast aside.

A work in progress piece done in Rumah Terbuka showcase produced by Aramy Rasyid in Five arts center, GMBB. This piece explores personal anxiety and the uncertainty that comes with navigating commitment and the future, especially from the perspective of a young woman. It reflects the emotional weight of not knowing where certain life choices may lead. At the same time, it examines the influence of tradition, social norms, and societal expectations placed on women. Aggression becomes a central concept, reimagined and embodied through the female form, not as violence, but as a force that challenges, resists, and reclaims space.
