Description
This work peppered with numerous little caricatures is reminiscent of Separate Realities - of a parallel ‘nether’ world on earth - by Zulkifli Mohd. Dahalan (1952-77). Here, Zulkifli’s theme revolves around the dimming of presence and power of the main actor as he exits the stage when the light goes on or when the curtain falls.
