To celebrate its 50th anniversary, a Mandarin theatre company sets out to stage a classic Singapore play to mark the special occasion. There’s only one problem: what play should they select?

Shortlisting several possible classic plays and enlisting the help of three actors through an audition, the company’s artistic director brings the group on a gruelling selection process involving numerous rehearsals, re-enactments and soliloquies. The director plays the role of an historian, hoping to discern the relationship between theatre and history. However, his uncertain attitude, authoritarian at times but mostly non-committal, irks the actors, who themselves feel the tension between them increasing as they struggle to keep up with the demanding pace.

What conclusion awaits them as they press relentlessly forward?

Weaving together a wealth of historical material, recorded interviews and scenes from classic works, Upstage explores 50 years of Singapore Mandarin theatre through an interplay of fact and fiction. Uncover fascinating stories of individuals and collectives that are obscured by the tides of history, presented on a stage that extends beyond the realm of theatre.

某华语剧团庆祝创团50周年，想要重新演绎一出经典的新加坡华语剧作，可是导演却举棋不定，不知道应该呈献哪一出戏。他找来了三名演员和几个重要的剧本，希望通过无数次的彩排、扮演和独白，厘清剧场和历史的关系，确定应该上演哪一出戏。导演时而武断、时而懒散的态度，令演员无所适从。演员之间的暗流，也在反反复复的排练之间涌现。

结合了丰富的文史资料、人物访问以及经典戏剧片段的扮演，《摆渡》在形式与内容上，是一出游走于纪实和戏说的剧场作品。在虚实交错的舞台上，《摆渡》尝试再现新加坡华语剧场五十年的发展，重述沉浮其中的精彩人物与故事。在纷繁多样的面貌中，寻找一种多元并且共通的精神脉络。
