It's the year 2011. A funeral procession passes through a village, and the sun is high in the sky. And before you know it, the dead man is abandoned to his fate, and the procession party scrambles towards the precious street. This is an under five-minute play that has the audience of hundreds of students, roaring with laughter. But when one of the actors says that we should save water and plant more trees, or we could reach a stage in which water was rationed, his words are greeted with absolute silence.
Street theatre group ‘Aware' often does this to its viewers. It makes them laugh, cry, but most importantly, it gets them thinking.
