If There Is An Afterlife, I Hope It's Your Version Instead of Mine

“If There is An Afterlife, I Hope It’s Your Version Instead of Mine” is a semi-devised piece by Asyraf Syahir Najib. The play revolves around the story of a religiously-skeptical Malay woman in her early 30s (Sofia, played by Myrra Baity Khan) who is pushed to reexamine their beliefs and confront their nihilistic views on life upon taking care of her religious cancer-stricken mother. The narrative of the play will be framed 3 years after her mother’s death; in which, she is finally forced to process her own experience upon having to witness (and be there for) her childhood friends (Ryan, played by LeoniTunez & Vanessa, played by Alya Amani) who are facing a similar experience with the sudden cancer diagnosis of their mother (Ma, played by Erie Woo). The play will dominantly explore the themes of death of a loved one, beliefs and faiths, questions of the afterlife, emotional numbness and self-destructive coping mechanisms.

Featured Artists:

Alya Amani, Asyraf Syahir, Erie Woo, LeoniTunez, Myrra Baity Khan, Radja Afif, Sarah Shafina.
