Dead fish, maggi noodles, rainbow flags and army drill - all become accessories to the word in this lively, provocative romp through Singaporean poetry. an invasion you wanted a violation we need Featuring new stagings of text from past shows such as Cybercum (Perth), Toy Factory's White Sails Over Blue Blue Sea and Action Theatre's Poetry In Action 2 (where the team was nominated for Best Ensemble in the 2002 Life!
