Most of us who caught this production came for possibly 2 reasons: Director Tsai Ming-liang and actor Lee Kang-sheng. We did have the typical Tsai's moment - long scenes (Lee walking from one end of the stage to the other, cleaning the aquarium), no straight forward storytelling. If we are prepared to just watch it as it is, it was enjoyable at times, and the staging was interesting. What was lacking to me was the absence of a memorable moment on stage.
Absence of a memorable moment? Eating & sharing the snacks with the audience and Kang Sheng was the most memorable! :) I still remember that taste and the sounds of munching in the audience. and hey! Now I can tell people I've snacked with Lee Kang Sheng! heehee
