GENEVIEVE CHUA

CHILD AND THE BEAST

Before you is a stage. What lies here is a collection of props and speculations.

If there is a stage from encountering an anomaly to forming generalisations. If humidity changes with regard to how saturated an area is with spirits. If the child is really the beast and the beast, a child. If her kill is for sustenance and not to relish. If her victims sacrifice themselves to feed her. If some spaces, no matter how still, can be more turbulent than others. If the narrative is informed by the presence of props and not characters. If she is held captive for a day, or two. If you could possess such instincts capable for vengeance. If you could possess her...

Every one is capable when the stakes are high.
