Silent Rooms, Silent Memories: “Flowers” by Drama Box | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia Articles Drama Box May 16, 2019 By Akanksha Raja (1,155 words, 5-minute read) It’s a series of plastic white flower-fans lining the fence of 74 Jalan Kelabu Asap that lets me know that I’ve arrived at the site of Drama Box’s first work of 2019, Flowers , an experiential installation set in a quaint two-storey landed house in Chip Bee Gardens. I’m 15 minutes early for the journey, so the team offers me tea and a seat on the porch before the house opens. As I wait, I can’t help feeling that I’ve been invited into someone’s personal residence – the home, the life, of a family I’ve never met and whose members’ names I don’t even know.
