It’s election season! Geng Rebut Cabinet (GRC) is back after its sold-out runs in 2015, and 2016 at the Singapore Theatre Festival! Nominated for multiple Straits Times Life! Awards, including Best Script, you don’t want to miss out on this campaign.
With elections around the corner, a political party is planning to field candidates in a five-member Group Representation Constituency. On the shortlist are a Minister, a Brigadier-General, a high-flying lawyer and a grassroots organiser.
But the team is not complete without a minority candidate. This candidate has to be likeable. He or she has to be a respected member of the community. Most importantly, he or she has to be… Chinese.
GRC examines what it means to be a part of a minority in a topsy-turvy farcical world where the disempowered are now empowered, and the invisible have their faces plastered everywhere – but only during campaign season.
Who defines whether someone is a member of a minority? Who sets the standards for a ‘model minority’ and a ‘problem minority’? And is the country ready for a minority Prime Minister?
Duration: approximately 1 hour 45 minutes (with no intermission)
