Alice in the Antipathies

Sasi Victoire‘s Alice in the Antipathies is a cross and intra-cultural work with Malayalam and Bahasa Malaysia languages. It takes audiences on a unique journey of migration, with the imaginary Alice, of Alice in Wonderland to navigate a challenging voyage through romance, love, loss and reconciliation.

Synopsis
Alice in the Antipathies is the story of Asha, a second-generation Indian diaspora born in Malaysia, who is unable to conform to belong in her cultural setting. In the 1970’s, during a climate welcoming immigration and multiculturalism, Asha moves to Australia to study and eventually settle. Encountering life’s challenges as wife and mother, Asha chooses art as a solace to discover herself and she finds the text of Alice in Wonderland to help find a voice, and through using another’s voice she gains her own.

Production History
Alice in the Antipathies was originally produced by JUTE Theatre Company, Masakini Theatre Company and Dr Sasi Victoire premiering at the Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on September 26, 2019 with and Australian premiere at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre on Octover 5, 2019.

Skin Poem

Fruit of many colours,
Assortment, by types of skin,
Eye them, select, savour.
The generous sensations in your mouth,
Swallow, hmm, enjoy!

Race, there are many colours,
Difference, otherness,
Why does your eyes differentiate?
To weaponize the colour of skin
Why is it tainted, with fear, suspicion, and greed.

Run the race,
Put an end of the way of seeing.
Where history has dominated your attitude
Of preference and entitlement
Like a child, immature, snatches toys
In a playground of sharing.

It is time to run your race in life.
Care not of the opponents.
Focus on your effort, your own path.
With pride and commitment.
Innovate, create, and celebrate difference.

With fine values, new paths, new answers.
For that human affliction
Tear out that complex.
Run that race not confined by skin.

Peel back the layers like onion
To uncover a heart
Filled with generosity and kindness.
Rejoice, love and care,
To define your skin in your own race.
