The Food Play

This project aimed to document a captivating theatre performance titled The Food Play, directed by Hester Welch and featuring Razif Hashim. The performance explored the themes of multiculturalism, storytelling, and the unifying power of food through an immersive blend of storytelling, dance, and audience interaction. Capturing the play as it unfolded required a documentary-style approach to preserve its raw emotion and energy.

The performance took place in 2018 at the Old Court House in Kuching. Commissioned to document the event, this project offered a unique perspective into the intersection of culture and performance art.

While there were no major challenges, the experience of documenting such an engaging performance opened a new avenue for me into theatre and performing arts photography.

This project was a personal turning point, sparking a deep interest in capturing the dynamic world of theatre. The fusion of food, culture, and performance in The Food Play made it an unforgettable and enriching experience.
