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)
