Synopsis:
He is a piano teacher but he hates music. Despite being born with neither talents nor looks, he is regarded as the toast of the family and the prized breadwinner in the eyes of his mother. But he's only a piano teacher and he can't meet up to his mother's lofty expectations and put up with herneurotic ambitions. His father neither condones his mother nor shields him, existing as a mere shadow lurking in a dark corner of his life. He lives with his family but he craves for independence. He only wants to be a good son but he didn't choose his family after all. He wants to live a more successful life but he lacks the drive and determination. It seems only his servant has an answer to his problems when she presented him with a ...

I'm just a Piano Teacher is a story about a loser in a loser family caughtin a tangle between love and duty. The Finger Players presents this dark and absurdist puppet theatre with live music accompaniment by award-winning sound designer Darren Ng and an atmospheric lighting design by award winning designer, Lim Woan Wen. The Finger Players' full-time artist Oliver Chong directs, writes and designs this multi-layered production, featuring an all female cast in gender-bending roles. Expect an innovative puppet theatre that fuses puppeteers and their puppets as one from the multiple award team of Furthest North, Deepest South (5th Life! Theatre Award- Best Production of the Year). Deft puppet manipulation and ingenious puppet designs promise a riveting night of decisively original theatre. This is an adult puppet theatre that would blow your mind away with its theatricality and designs. Most of all, it will be heartbreakingly beautiful.

Advisory: Mature Theme (suitable for 16 years and above)
